Gamma tubulin, a member of the tubulin superfamily, is a ubiquitous and highly conserved protein within the microtubule organizing centre (MTOC). Gamma tubulin is not a component of microtubules, rather it functions as the microtubule nucleator at the MOTC, is responsible for binding microtubule minus ends and mediating the link between microtubles and the centrosome. By binding to the beta tubulin subunit of the tubulin molecule, it establishes the polarity of a microtubule leaving the alph
