Other Information

**Key Characteristics** TUBA1A is a gene that encodes for a protein subunit of microtubules. Microtubules are dynamic structures composed of tubulin dimers, and TUBA1A is one of the several subunits that make up microtubules. The TUBA1A protein is characterized by its ability to interact with other microtubule subunits and other proteins to form microtubules. The TUBA1A protein also undergoes post-translational modifications, such as carboxyterminal post-translational modifications, which are essential for its function. **Pathways and Functions** TUBA1A is involved in various cellular processes, including: 1. **Cell division**: Microtubules are essential for the proper segregation of chromosomes during cell division. TUBA1A is involved in the formation of microtubules that interact with the mitotic spindle. 2. **Axon guidance**: Microtubules play a crucial role in axon guidance, and TUBA1A is involved in the formation of microtubules that interact with growth cones and other axonal structures. 3. **Neurotransmitter release**: Microtubules are involved in the regulation of neurotransmitter release, and TUBA1A is involved in the formation of microtubules that interact with synaptic vesicles. 4. **Antiviral mechanisms**: TUBA1A is involved in the regulation of antiviral mechanisms, including the activation of interferon-stimulated genes. TUBA1A also interacts with other proteins and pathways, including: 1. **AMPK**: TUBA1A is involved in the activation of AMPK downstream of NMDA receptors. 2. **NMDA receptors**: TUBA1A is involved in the assembly and cell surface presentation of NMDA receptors. 3. **Autophagy**: TUBA1A is involved in the regulation of autophagy, a process by which cells recycle damaged or dysfunctional components. 4. **Hedgehog signaling**: TUBA1A is involved in the regulation of hedgehog signaling, a pathway that is involved in developmental biology and disease. **Clinical Significance** Dysregulation of TUBA1A has been implicated in various neurological disorders, including: 1. **Neurodegenerative diseases**: TUBA1A dysregulation has been implicated in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington's disease. 2. **Cancer**: TUBA1A dysregulation has been implicated in cancer, including glioblastoma and breast cancer. 3. **Neurodevelopmental disorders**: TUBA1A dysregulation has been implicated in neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism and schizophrenia. In summary, TUBA1A is a critical gene that encodes for a protein subunit of microtubules, which are essential components of the cytoskeleton. The protein product of this gene is involved in various cellular processes, including cell division, axon guidance, and neurotransmitter release. Dysregulation of TUBA1A has been implicated in various neurological disorders, highlighting the importance of this gene in human health and disease.

Database document:

This is a preview of the gene's schema. Only a few entries are kept for 'singleCellExpressions,' 'mRNAExpressions,' and other large data arrays for visualization purposes. You can zoom in with the mouse wheel for a closer view, and the text will adjust automatically if necessary. For the full schema, download it here.
