b-Tubulin III belongs to the tubulin family. Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules. It forms dimers of alpha and beta chains. One mole of tubulin binds to two moles of GTP, one at an exchangeable site on the beta chain and one at a non-exchangeable site on the alpha chain. b-Tubulin III contains a highly acidic C-terminal region which can bind cations such as calcium. It is abundant in the central and peripheral nervous systems.
