CYTBs
CYTBs, or Cytoplasmic Tubulin Binding proteins, are a class of proteins that interact with tubulin, a key component of microtubules. These proteins play crucial roles in various cellular processes, including cell division, intracellular transport, and cell motility. CYTBs are characterized by their ability to bind to tubulin dimers, which are the building blocks of microtubules. This binding can occur at the microtubule ends, promoting microtubule growth, or at the sides, stabilizing the microtubule structure.
There are several types of CYTBs, each with distinct functions. For example, MAPs (Microtubule-Associated Proteins) are
CYTBs are essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis and are often targeted by various diseases. For instance,
