== Function ==


[[Tubulin]] (TUB) is a constituent of microtubules in eukaryotes.  Microtubules are assembled from dimers of α-tubulin (TUBA) and β-tubulin (TUBB) bound to GTP. γ-tubulin (TUBG) is part of the nucleation of microtubules. Human TUB contains several numbered subtypes.  FtsZ  (Filamenting temperature-sensitive mutant Z) is a prokaryotic homologue of TUB. The images at the left and at the right correspond to one representative Tubulin, ''i.e.'' the crystal structure of Tubulin ([[1z5w]]).
[[Tubulin]] (TUB) is a constituent of microtubules in eukaryotes.  Microtubules are assembled from dimers of '''α-tubulin''' (TUBA) and '''β-tubulin''' (TUBB) bound to GTP. '''γ-tubulin''' (TUBG) is part of the nucleation of microtubules<ref>PMID:11297925</ref>. Human TUB contains several numbered subtypes.  Tubulin filaments are stabilized by taxol and zampanolide.  '''FtsZ''' (Filamenting temperature-sensitive mutant Z) is a prokaryotic homologue of TUB<ref>PMID:26463348</ref>. See [[Cell division protein]] and [[Beta tubulin]].
