Xenopus tropicalis undecorated microtubule - 14 protofilament, 3-start helix
| ||||||||||||
Structural highlights
FunctionQ0IIR4_XENTR Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules, a cylinder consisting of laterally associated linear protofilaments composed of alpha- and beta-tubulin heterodimers. Microtubules grow by the addition of GTP-tubulin dimers to the microtubule end, where a stabilizing cap forms. Below the cap, tubulin dimers are in GDP-bound state, owing to GTPase activity of alpha-tubulin.[RuleBase:RU000352] Contents | ||||||||||||||||||||
