Function

[TBA1A_PIG] Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules. It binds two moles of GTP, one at an exchangeable site on the beta chain and one at a non-exchangeable site on the alpha chain. [KL61_DROME] Important role in mitotic dividing cells. Microtubule motor required for spindle body separation. Slow plus-end directed microtubule motor capable of cross-linking and sliding apart antiparallel microtubules, thereby pushing apart the associated spindle poles during spindle assembly and function. [TBB_PIG] Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules. It binds two moles of GTP, one at an exchangeable site on the beta chain and one at a non-exchangeable site on the alpha chain.
