 General cytoplasmic expression, most abundant in CNS and peripheral nerves.

DATA RELIABILITY

Data reliability
description

 Antibody staining mainly not consistent with RNA expression data. Caution, targets protein from more than one gene. Presumed off target binding observed and disregarded. External characterization data supports antibody staining.

Reliability score

 Supported based on 3 antibodies.

Description

 Tubulin, beta 2A class IIa (HGNC Symbol)

Entrez gene summary

 Microtubules, key participants in processes such as mitosis and intracellular transport, are composed of heterodimers of alpha- and beta-tubulins. The protein encoded by this gene is a beta-tubulin. Defects in this gene are associated with complex cortical dysplasia with other brain malformations-5. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene.
