Beta tubulins are one of two core protein families (alpha and beta tubulins) that heterodimerize and assemble to form microtubules. This protein is specifically expressed in platelets and megakaryocytes and may be involved in proplatelet production and platelet release. A mutations in this gene is associated with autosomal dominant macrothrombocytopenia. Two pseudogenes of this gene are found on chromosome Y.[provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010],Function:Function:Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules. It binds two moles of GTP, one at an exchangeable site on the beta chain and one at a non-exchangeable site on the alpha-chain.,similarity:Belongs to the tubulin family.,subunit:Dimer of alpha and beta chains.,Cellular Localization:Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton .Tissue Expression:Hematopoietic cell-specific. Major isotype in leukocytes, where it represents 50% of all beta-tubulins.Research Areas:>>Phagosome ; >>Gap junction ; >>Alzheimer disease ; >>Parkinson disease ; >>Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ; >>Huntington disease ; >>Prion disease ; >>Pathways of neurodegeneration - multiple diseases ; >>Pathogenic Escherichia coli infection ; >>Salmonella infection
