  • apical in normal enterocytes (Oriolo 2007)
  • basic FUNCTION
  • necessary for microtublule nucleation at the centrosome
  • participates in the attachment of microtubule-organizing centers to intermediate filaments in epithelial cells and is among the factors that determine the peculiar architecture of microtubules in polarized epithelia (Oriolo 2007)

    protein
  • TUBGCP6 interacts with and is phosphorylated by PLK4
  • recognition of gamma-tubulin ring complex integrity is mediated by MZT1, which binds not only to the TUBGCP3 subunit as previously shown, but cooperatively also to other GCPs through a conserved hydrophobic motif present in the N-termini of TUBGCP2, TUBGCP3, TUBGCP5 and TUBGCP6
  • defective synthesis of mature TUBGCP6 protein is a contributor to the failure of centriole biogenesis in cells lacking WBP11 and SNW1
