β-tubulin belongs to the subfamily of tubulins, which are the major building blocks of microtubules. β-tubulin has a molecular weight of 55kDa. β-tubulin structure is characterized with a core of two β-sheets enclosed by α-helices. In addition, it also contains an N-terminal domain with the guanine nucleotide-binding region, an intermediate domain with taxol-binding site and a C-terminal domain that contains the binding surface for molecular motor proteins. β-tubulin I and II is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 20 and 6p25.2 respectively.
