Tppp Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable several functions, including magnesium ion binding activity; microtubule nucleator activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in microtubule polymerization; nervous system development; and positive regulation of myelination. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Colocalizes with microtubule. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; gut; hemolymphoid system gland; and nasal cavity epithelium. Orthologous to human TPPP (tubulin polymerization promoting protein). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Tppp often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
