CC -!- FUNCTION: Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules. It binds
CC two moles of GTP, one at an exchangeable site on the beta chain and one
CC at a non-exchangeable site on the alpha chain.
CC -!- SUBUNIT: Dimer of alpha and beta chains. A typical microtubule is a
CC hollow water-filled tube with an outer diameter of 25 nm and an inner
CC diameter of 15 nM. Alpha-beta heterodimers associate head-to-tail to
CC form protofilaments running lengthwise along the microtubule wall with
CC the beta-tubulin subunit facing the microtubule plus end conferring a
CC structural polarity. Microtubules usually have 13 protofilaments but
CC different protofilament numbers can be found in some organisms and
CC specialized cells.
CC -!- INTERACTION:
CC Q9NY65; Q8N4U5: TCP11L2; NbExp=3; IntAct=EBI-356246, EBI-11897462;
CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton.

CC Name=1;
CC IsoId=Q9NY65-1; Sequence=Displayed;
CC Name=2;
CC IsoId=Q9NY65-2; Sequence=VSP_042810;
CC -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Preferentially expressed in heart, skeletal muscle
CC and testis. Expressed at low levels in the developing brain.
CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20466094}.
CC -!- DOMAIN: The MREC motif may be critical for tubulin autoregulation.
CC {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P68363}.
CC -!- PTM: Some glutamate residues at the C-terminus are polyglutamylated,
CC resulting in polyglutamate chains on the gamma-carboxyl group
CC (PubMed:26875866). Polyglutamylation plays a key role in microtubule
CC severing by spastin (SPAST). SPAST preferentially recognizes and acts
CC on microtubules decorated with short polyglutamate tails: severing
CC activity by SPAST increases as the number of glutamates per tubulin
CC rises from one to eight, but decreases beyond this glutamylation
CC threshold (PubMed:26875866). Glutamylation is also involved in cilia
CC motility (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P99024,
CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:26875866}.
CC -!- PTM: Some glutamate residues at the C-terminus are monoglycylated but
CC not polyglycylated due to the absence of functional TTLL10 in human.
CC Monoglycylation is mainly limited to tubulin incorporated into cilia
CC and flagella axonemes, which is required for their stability and
CC maintenance. Flagella glycylation controls sperm motility. Both
CC polyglutamylation and monoglycylation can coexist on the same protein
CC on adjacent residues, and lowering glycylation levels increases
CC polyglutamylation, and reciprocally. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P07437,
CC ECO:0000305|PubMed:19524510}.
CC -!- DISEASE: Cortical dysplasia, complex, with other brain malformations 8
CC (CDCBM8) [MIM:613180]: A disease characterized by extensive
CC polymicrogyria, optic nerve hypoplasia, severe developmental delay,
CC hypotonia, seizures, a dysplastic or absent corpus callosum and
CC colpocephaly. Polymicrogyria is a malformation of the cortex in which
CC the brain surface is irregular and characterized by an excessive number
CC of small gyri with abnormal lamination. Polymicrogyria is a
CC heterogeneous disorder, considered to be the result of postmigratory
CC abnormal cortical organization. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19896110}. Note=The
CC disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this
CC entry.
CC -!- MISCELLANEOUS: This tubulin does not have a C-terminal tyrosine.
CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the tubulin family. {ECO:0000305}.
