Tubulin protein
Tubulin, gamma 1 is a protein in humans that is encoded by the TUBG1 gene .[ 5] tubulin superfamily. The encoded protein localizes to the centrosome where it binds to microtubules as part of a complex referred to as the gamma-tubulin ring complex . The protein mediates microtubule nucleation and is required for microtubule formation and progression of the cell cycle .
