Gene information for TUBA8 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID51807
Official gene symbolTUBA8
Full nametubulin, alpha 8
Aliases,TUBAL2,
Gene summaryThis 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]
