Summary: Predicted to enable GTP binding activity and protein heterodimerization activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of cytoskeleton. Involved in cerebral cortex development and modulation of chemical synaptic transmission. Acts upstream of or within embryonic brain development. Is active in Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; gut; hemolymphoid system gland; male reproductive gland or organ; and sensory organ. Used to study complex cortical dysplasia with other brain malformations 7. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in complex cortical dysplasia with other brain malformations 7. Orthologous to human TUBB2B (tubulin beta 2B class IIb). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

Study shows that loss of Tubb2a or Tubb2b does not impair survival but does lead to relatively mild cortical malformation phenotypes. In contrast, loss of Tuba1a is perinatal lethal and leads to significant forebrain dysmorphology. The ability of the mouse to survive in the absence of some tubulin genes known to cause disease in humans suggests future intervention strategies for these devastating tubulinopathy diseases.
Title: Differential requirements of tubulin genes in mammalian forebrain development.
The data presented here demonstrate that a heterozygous Tubb2b brdp/+ mutation in mice leads to significant spatial learning and memory reductions and conditioned contextual, but not cued, fear deficits.
Title: A heterozygous mutation in tubulin, beta 2B ( Tubb2b ) causes cognitive deficits and hippocampal disorganization.
study shows TUBB2B significantly upregulated in melanoma multinucleated giant cells, which indicates that it may play an important role in melanoma metastasis.
Title: Identification of the metastasis potential and its associated genes in melanoma multinucleated giant cells using the PHA-ECM830 fusion method.
Study showed that Tubb2b is expressed in Sox2- and Tbr2-positive neuronal progenitors and, at higher levels, in Dcx-positive postmitotic neurons in the developing mouse neocortex
Title: The Expression of Tubb2b Undergoes a Developmental Transition in Murine Cortical Neurons.
Results show that the missense mutation at a highly conserved residue (N247S) in Tubb2b gene represents the most severely affected mouse tubulin phenotype involving neuronal proliferation and survival.
Title: A mutation in Tubb2b, a human polymicrogyria gene, leads to lethality and abnormal cortical development in the mouse.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
