    Summary
    A structural constituent of cytoskeleton. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including microtubule cytoskeleton organization; nuclear division; and nuclear migration by microtubule mediated pushing forces. Located in spindle. Part of tubulin complex. Used to study several diseases, including lissencephaly; lung carcinoma; neurodegenerative disease (multiple); osteoblastoma; 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]
