[[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.
