Tubb1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable GTP binding activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of cytoskeleton. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including platelet aggregation; platelet formation; and thyroid hormone transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within spindle assembly. Predicted to be located in intercellular bridge and mitotic spindle. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and microtubule. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant isolated macrothrombocytopenia 1. Orthologous to human TUBB1 (tubulin beta 1 class VI).

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 Tubb1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
