Tubg2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable GTP binding activity and microtubule nucleator activity. Predicted to be involved in microtubule cytoskeleton organization and mitotic sister chromatid segregation. Predicted to be located in cytoplasmic microtubule; pericentriolar material; and spindle microtubule. Predicted to be part of gamma-tubulin ring complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm; microtubule cytoskeleton; and nucleus. Orthologous to human TUBG2 (tubulin gamma 2). [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 rat Tubg2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
