Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 347688
Gene name Tubulin beta 8 class VIII
Gene symbol TUBB8
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
OOMDOOMD2OZEMA2bA631M21.2
Chromosome 10
Chromosome location 10p15.3
Summary The protein encoded by this gene represents the primary beta-tubulin subunit of oocytes and the early embryo. Defects in this gene, which is primate-specific, are a cause of oocyte maturation defect 2 and infertility. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2016]

Protein name Tubulin beta-8 chain (Tubulin beta 8 class VIII)
Protein function Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules, a cylinder consisting of laterally associated linear protofilaments composed of alpha- and beta-tubulin heterodimers. Microtubules grow by the addition of GTP-tubulin dimers to the microtubule en
