The protein encoded by the EAG_08224 gene has a total length of 447 amino acids. It is structural constituent of eukaryotic cytoskeleton. EAG_08224 gene encodes a member of the beta tubulin protein family. Beta tubulins are one of two core protein families that heterodimerize and assemble to form microtubules. The protein is specifically expressed in platelets and megakaryocytes and may be involved in proplatelet production and platelet release.
