domain:The highly acidic C-terminal region may bind cations such as calcium.,function:Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules. It binds two moles of GTP, one at an exchangeable site on the beta chain and one at a non-exchangeable site on the alpha-chain.,similarity:Belongs to the tubulin family.,subunit:Dimer of alpha and beta chains.,
Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton.
Major isotype in brain, where it represents 46% of all beta-tubulins. In the brain, highest expression levels in the cerebellum, followed by putamen and white matter. Moderate levels in testis. Very low levels, if any, in other tissues.
