Summary: This gene encodes a member of the alpha tubulin family. Tubulin is a major component of microtubules, which are composed of alpha- and beta-tubulin heterodimers and microtubule-associated proteins in the cytoskeleton. Microtubules maintain cellular structure, function in intracellular transport, and play a role in spindle formation during mitosis. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011]

What's a GeneRIF?

TUBA3D is a new gene that causes keratoconus.The c.31 C > T (Gln11stop) and c.201insTT (Val68Leufs*2) mutations lead to TUBA3D degradation and higher matrix metalloproteinases expression in cornea fibroblasts.
Title: De novo mutations of TUBA3D are associated with keratoconus.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
