This gene encodes a member of the tubulin superfamily. This protein localizes to the centriolar sub-distal appendages that are associated with the older of the two centrioles after centrosome duplication. This protein plays a central role in organization of the microtubules during centriole duplication. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 5.
TUBE1 (Tubulin Epsilon 1) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with TUBE1 include Chronic Frontal Sinusitis and Frontal Sinusitis. Among its related pathways are Sertoli-Sertoli Cell Junction Dynamics and Chks in Checkpoint Regulation. GO annotations related to this gene include GTP binding and structural constituent of cytoskeleton. An important paralog of this gene is TUBB4B.
