tba-2 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable GTP binding activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of cytoskeleton. Involved in several processes, including centrosome localization; establishment of mitotic spindle orientation; and regulation of cytokinesis. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and microtubule. Expressed in several structures, including body wall musculature; intestine; neurons; pharynx; and ventral nerve cord. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in thrombocytopenia. Is an ortholog of human TUBA8 (tubulin alpha 8) and TUBAL3 (tubulin alpha like 3).
