GENE INFORMATION

Gene name

TUBA8 (HGNC Symbol)

Synonyms

TUBAL2

Description

Tubulin, alpha 8 (HGNC Symbol)

Entrez gene summary

This gene encodes a member of the alpha tubulin protein family. Alpha tubulins are one of two core protein families (alpha and beta tubulins) that heterodimerize and assemble to form microtubules. Mutations in this gene are associated with polymicrogyria and optic nerve hypoplasia. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]
