Gamma-tubulin is a universal component of microtubule organizing centers, which is essential for nuclear division and microtubule assembly in Aspergillus nidulans. TUBG1 mapped to within 20kb of TUBG2 at 17q21. gamma-tubulin is a minor protein, present at less than 1% the level of alpha- and beta-tubulin, and is limited to the centrosome. Gamma-tubulin is present in Drosophila melanogaster and Homo sapiens.
