Background
TUBA8 encodes a member of the alpha tubulin protein family. Alpha tubulins are one of two core protein families (alpha and beta tubulins) that heterodimerize and assemble to form microtubules. Mutations in this gene are associated with polymicrogyria and optic nerve hypoplasia. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. TUBA8 (Tubulin Alpha 8) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with TUBA8 include Cortical Dysplasia, Complex, With Other Brain Malformations 8 and Optic Nerve Hypoplasia. Among its related pathways are Development Slit-Robo signaling and Cytoskeleton remodeling Neurofilaments.
