Tubb2b Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable GTP binding activity and protein heterodimerization activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of cytoskeleton. Involved in cerebral cortex development and modulation of chemical synaptic transmission. Acts upstream of or within embryonic brain development. Is active in Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; gut; hemolymphoid system gland; male reproductive gland or organ; and sensory organ. Used to study complex cortical dysplasia with other brain malformations 7. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in complex cortical dysplasia with other brain malformations 7. Orthologous to human TUBB2B (tubulin beta 2B class IIb). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 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 Tubb2b often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
