This gene encodes a class III member of the beta tubulin protein family. Beta tubulins are one of two core protein families (alpha and beta tubulins) that heterodimerize and assemble to form microtubules. This protein is primarily expressed in neurons and may be involved in neurogenesis and axon guidance and maintenance. Mutations in this gene are the cause of congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles type 3. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 6. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2010]
TUBB3 (Tubulin Beta 3 Class III) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with TUBB3 include Cortical Dysplasia, Complex, With Other Brain Malformations 1 and Fibrosis Of Extraocular Muscles, Congenital, 3A, With Or Without Extraocular Involvement. Among its related pathways are Neuroscience and Cell cycle_Spindle assembly and chromosome separation. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include G protein-coupled receptor activity and GTPase activity. An important paralog of this gene is ENSG00000198211.
Microtubules are cylindrical tubes of 20-25 nm in diameter. They are composed of protofilaments which are in turn composed of alpha- and beta-tubulin polymers. Each microtubule is polarized; at one end alpha-subunits are exposed (-) and at the other, beta-subunits are exposed (+).
