SIMILARITY | Belongs to the TBCD family.Contains 3 HEAT repeats. |
SUBUNIT | Found in a complex with at least ARL2, PPP2CB, PPP2R1A,PPP2R2A, PPP2R5E and TBCD. Interacts with PPP2CB. Interacts withARL2 (By similarity). Supercomplex made of cofactors A to E.Cofactors A and D function by capturing and stabilizing tubulin ina quasi-native conformation. Cofactor E binds to the cofactorD-tubulin complex; interaction with cofactor C then causes therelease of tubulin polypeptides that are committed to the nativestate. Interacts with ARL2; interaction is enhanced with theGDP-bound form of ARL2. Does not interact with ARL3, ARL4A andARL4D. Interacts with beta tubulin. |
Important Note | This product as supplied is intended for research use only, not for use in human, therapeutic or diagnostic applications. |
Background Descriptions | Tubulin-folding protein; involved in the first step of the tubulin folding pathway. Modulates microtubule dynamics by capturing GTP-bound beta-tubulin (TUBB). Acts as a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) for ARL2. Its ability to interact with beta tubulin is regulated via its interaction with ARL2. Induces microtubule disruption in absence of ARL2. Increases degradation of beta tubulin, when overexpressed in polarized cells. Promotes epithelial cell detachment, a process antagonized by ARL2. Induces tight adherens and tight junctions disassembly at the lateral cell membrane. |

Function | Tubulin-folding protein implicated in the first step of the tubulin folding pathway and required for tubulin complex assembly. Involved in the regulation of microtubule polymerization or depolymerization, it modulates microtubule dynamics by capturing GTP- bound beta-tubulin (TUBB). Its ability to interact with beta tubulin is regulated via its interaction with ARL2. Acts as a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) for ARL2. Induces microtubule disruption in absence of ARL2. Increases degradation of beta tubulin, when overexpressed in polarized cells. Promotes epithelial cell detachment, a process antagonized by ARL2. Induces tight adherens and tight junctions disassembly at the lateral cell membrane (PubMed:10722852, PubMed:10831612, PubMed:11847227, PubMed:20740604, PubMed:27666370, PubMed:28158450). Required for correct assembly and maintenance of the mitotic spindle, and proper progression of mitosis (PubMed:27666370). Involved in neuron morphogenesis (PubMed:27666374). |
