Summary: Predicted to enable GTP binding activity and calcium ion binding activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of cytoskeleton. Predicted to be involved in microtubule cytoskeleton organization; mitotic cell cycle; and negative regulation of microtubule polymerization. Located in several cellular components, including internode region of axon; myelin sheath; and neuronal cell body. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Used to study hypomyelinating leukodystrophy 6. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypomyelinating leukodystrophy 6 and torsion dystonia 4. Orthologous to human TUBB4A (tubulin beta 4A class IVa).

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.
