| 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. {ECO:0000256|RuleBase:RU000352}. |
|
||
| Subunit: | |
Dimer of alpha and beta chains. A typical microtubule is a hollow water-filled tube with an outer diameter of 25 nm and an inner diameter of 15 nM. Alpha-beta heterodimers associate head-to-tail to form protofilaments running lengthwise along the microtubule wall with the beta-tubulin subunit facing the microtubule plus end conferring a structural polarity. Microtubules usually have 13 protofilaments but different protofilament numbers can be found in some organisms and specialized cells. {ECO:0000256|RuleBase:RU000352}. |
| Subcellular location: | |
Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000256|ARBA:ARBA00004245}. |
| Similarity: | |
Belongs to the tubulin family. {ECO:0000256|ARBA:ARBA00009636, ECO:0000256|RuleBase:RU000352}. |
