Structural highlights
Function
TBCB_MOUSE Binds to alpha-tubulin folding intermediates after their interaction with cytosolic chaperonin in the pathway leading from newly synthesized tubulin to properly folded heterodimer (By similarity). Involved in regulation of tubulin heterodimer dissociation. May function as a negative regulator of axonal growth.[1] [2]
