[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/TBA1_DROME TBA1_DROME] Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules. | [https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/TBA1_DROME TBA1_DROME] 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. | ||
