TBCD tubulin folding cofactor D

Gene ID: 6904, updated on 4-Jan-2025
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: tfcD; PEBAT; SSD-1

Summary

Cofactor D is one of four proteins (cofactors A, D, E, and C) involved in the pathway leading to correctly folded beta-tubulin from folding intermediates. Cofactors A and D are believed to play a role in capturing and stabilizing beta-tubulin intermediates in a quasi-native confirmation. Cofactor E binds to the cofactor D/beta-tubulin complex; interaction with cofactor C then causes the release of beta-tubulin polypeptides that are committed to the native state.
