Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable GTP binding activity and structural molecule activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of cytoskeleton. Involved in chemosensory behavior and egg-laying behavior. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and microtubule. Expressed in coelomocyte; epithelial cell; muscle cell; and nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in brain disease (multiple) and congenital symmetric circumferential skin creases 1. Is an ortholog of human TUBB (tubulin beta class I) and TUBB4A (tubulin beta 4A class IVa).
