    Summary
    Predicted to enable GTP binding activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of cytoskeleton. Involved in homologous chromosome segregation; mitotic sister chromatid segregation; and nuclear migration along microtubule. Located in nuclear periphery. Part of tubulin complex. Used to study amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 22; lissencephaly (multiple); polymicrogyria; and thrombocytopenia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 22; keratoconus; lissencephaly (multiple); thrombocytopenia; and visual epilepsy. Orthologous to several human genes including TUBA1A (tubulin alpha 1a); TUBA1B (tubulin alpha 1b); and TUBA1C (tubulin alpha 1c). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
