    Summary
    Predicted to enable GTP binding activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of cytoskeleton. Involved in salivary gland morphogenesis. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and microtubule. Is expressed in several structures, including embryonic/larval midgut; extended germ band embryo; muscle system; testis; and visceral muscle primordium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in complex cortical dysplasia with other brain malformations 5 and complex cortical dysplasia with other brain malformations 7. Orthologous to human TUBB2A (tubulin beta 2A class IIa) and TUBB2B (tubulin beta 2B class IIb). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
