[[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. See also [[Beta tubulin]]. '''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. | [[Tubulin]] (TUB) is a constituent of microtubules in eukaryotes.
