Summary: Predicted to enable GTP binding activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of cytoskeleton. Predicted to be involved in microtubule cytoskeleton organization and mitotic cell cycle. Located in axonemal microtubule. Is expressed in accessory cell; epithelial cell; muscle cell; and neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Leber congenital amaurosis with early-onset deafness; complex cortical dysplasia with other brain malformations (multiple); congenital symmetric circumferential skin creases 1; hypomyelinating leukodystrophy 6; and torsion dystonia 4. Orthologous to several human genes including TUBB4B (tubulin beta 4B class IVb). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

Continual transport of sub-stoichiometric numbers of these TBB-4/TBA-5 subunits by the kinesin-2 dependent intraflagellar transport machinery can maintain sensory cilia at their steady-state length.
Title: Intraflagellar transport delivers tubulin isotypes to sensory cilium middle and distal segments.
