microtubule nucleation Gene Set

GO Biological Process Annotations 2025
Category

Type
biological process
Description
The process in which tubulin alpha-beta heterodimers begin aggregation to form an oligomeric tubulin structure (a microtubule seed). Microtubule nucleation is the initiating step in the formation of a microtubule in the absence of any existing microtubules ('de novo' microtubule formation). (Gene Ontology , GO_0007020 )
