Anti-Tubulin, beta 3 (Tubulin beta III, Tubulin beta-3 Chain, TUBB 3, TUBB3, Neuron Specific beta II

The cytoskeleton consists of three types of cytosolic fibers: microtubules, microfilaments (actin filaments), and intermediate filaments. Globular tubulin subunits comprise the microtubule building block, with a/b-tubulin heterodimers forming the tubulin subunit common to all eukaryotic cells. y-tubulin is necessary to nucleate polymerization of tubulin subunits to form microtubule polymers. Many cell movements are mediated by microtubule action, including the beating of cilia and flagella, cytoplasmic transport of membrane vesicles, chromosome alignment during meiosis/mitosis, and nerve-cell axon migration. These movements result from ompetitive microtubule polymerization and depolymerization or through the actions of microtubule motor proteins (1).
