TUBG1

Tubulin, gamma 1 is a is_associated_with::protein in humans that is encoded by the TUBG1 is_associated_with::gene. This gene encodes a member of the is_associated_with::tubulin superfamily. The encoded protein localizes to the is_associated_with::centrosome where it binds to is_associated_with::microtubules as part of a complex referred to as the gamma-tubulin ring complex. The protein mediates is_associated_with::microtubule nucleation and is required for microtubule formation and progression of the is_associated_with::cell cycle.
