FunFam 17: Tubulin epsilon chain

Please note: GO annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

There are 2 GO terms relating to "molecular function"

The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.
GO Term Annotations Evidence
Structural molecule activity GO:0005198
The action of a molecule that contributes to the structural integrity of a complex or its assembly within or outside a cell.
4 Q4FKF8 (/ISM) Q4FKF8 (/ISM) Q9NI44 (/ISM) Q9NI44 (/ISM)
Structural constituent of cytoskeleton GO:0005200
The action of a molecule that contributes to the structural integrity of a cytoskeletal structure.
1 Q9UJT0 (/TAS)

There are 2 GO terms relating to "biological process"

The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.
GO Term Annotations Evidence
Microtubule polymerization GO:0046785
The addition of tubulin heterodimers to one or both ends of a microtubule.
4 Q4FKF8 (/ISA) Q4FKF8 (/ISA) Q9NI44 (/ISA) Q9NI44 (/ISA)
Centrosome cycle GO:0007098
The cell cycle process in which centrosome duplication and separation takes place. The centrosome cycle can operate with a considerable degree of independence from other processes of the cell cycle.
1 Q9UJT0 (/TAS)

There are 4 GO terms relating to "cellular component"

The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.
GO Term Annotations Evidence
Cytoplasm GO:0005737
All of the contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures.
4 Q4FKF8 (/IDA) Q4FKF8 (/IDA) Q9NI44 (/IDA) Q9NI44 (/IDA)
Microtubule GO:0005874
Any of the long, generally straight, hollow tubes of internal diameter 12-15 nm and external diameter 24 nm found in a wide variety of eukaryotic cells; each consists (usually) of 13 protofilaments of polymeric tubulin, staggered in such a manner that the tubulin monomers are arranged in a helical pattern on the microtubular surface, and with the alpha/beta axes of the tubulin subunits parallel to the long axis of the tubule; exist in equilibrium with pool of tubulin monomers and can be rapidly assembled or disassembled in response to physiological stimuli; concerned with force generation, e.g. in the spindle.
4 Q4FKF8 (/ISM) Q4FKF8 (/ISM) Q9NI44 (/ISM) Q9NI44 (/ISM)
Pericentriolar material GO:0000242
A network of small fibers that surrounds the centrioles in cells; contains the microtubule nucleating activity of the centrosome.
1 Q9UJT0 (/TAS)
Cytoplasm GO:0005737
All of the contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures.
