{"symbol":"TUBG1","synonyms":["TUBG","CDCBM4","TUBGCP1"],"name":"tubulin, gamma 1","description":"This gene encodes a member of the 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. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 7.
