Summary
Predicted to enable GTP binding activity and protein kinase binding activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of cytoskeleton. Predicted to be involved in microtubule cytoskeleton organization and mitotic cell cycle. Predicted to be located in microtubule cytoskeleton. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and microtubule. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 22. Orthologous to human TUBA4A (tubulin alpha 4a). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
