Tubgcp2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable gamma-tubulin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in brain development and neuron migration. Predicted to be located in centrosome; ciliary basal body; and nucleoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pachygyria, microcephaly, developmental delay, and dysmorphic facies, with or without seizures. Orthologous to human TUBGCP2 (tubulin gamma complex component 2). [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 rat Tubgcp2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
