Summary

Enables microtubule binding activity. Involved in microtubule nucleation. Located in centrosome; ciliary basal body; and cytosol. Part of gamma-tubulin ring complex. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Forensic Context

A study in humans demonstrated that the TUBGCP5 was upregulated during continuous weight loss from 5 to 12 months in weight losers, as identified through gene expression analysis of subcutaneous adipose tissue [Bollepalli et al. DOI:10.1038/ijo.2017.245].
