Summary
TUBGCP2 (tubulin gamma complex component 2, HGNC:18599) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 10q26.3, encoding Gamma-tubulin complex component 2 (Q9BSJ2). Component of the gamma-tubulin ring complex (gTuRC) which mediates microtubule nucleation. It is a common-essential gene (DepMap: required in 99.5% of cancer cell lines).
Predicted to enable gamma-tubulin binding activity. Predicted to contribute to microtubule minus-end binding activity. Involved in brain development and neuron migration. Located in centrosome; ciliary basal body; and nucleoplasm. Implicated in pachygyria, microcephaly, developmental delay, and dysmorphic facies, with or without seizures.

Function. Component of the gamma-tubulin ring complex (gTuRC) which mediates microtubule nucleation. The gTuRC regulates the minus-end nucleation of alpha-beta tubulin heterodimers that grow into microtubule protafilaments, a critical step in centrosome duplication and spindle formation. Plays a role in neuronal migration.
Subunit / interactions. Component of the gamma-tubulin ring complex (gTuRC) consisting of TUBGCP2, TUBGCP3, TUBGCP4, TUBGCP5 and TUBGCP6 and gamma-tubulin TUBG1 or TUBG2. TUBGCP2, TUBGCP3, TUBGCP4, TUBGCP5 and TUBGCP6 assemble in a 5:5:2:1:1 stoichiometry; each is associated with a gamma-tubulin, thereby arranging 14 gamma-tubulins in a helical manner. Gamma-tubulin at the first position is blocked by TUBGCP3 at the last position, allowing 13 protafilaments to grow into a microtubule. The gTuRC (via TUBGCP3 and TUBGCP6) interacts with ACTB and MZT1; the interactions form a luminal bridge that stabilizes the initial structure during complex assembly. The gTuRC (via TUBGCP2) interacts with MZT2A/MZT2B and CDK5RAP2 (via CM1 motif); the interactions play a role in gTuRC activation. Interacts with ATF5; the ATF5:PCNT:polyglutamylated tubulin (PGT) tripartite unites the mother centriole and the pericentriolar material (PCM) in the centrosome.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Cytoskeleton. Microtubule organizing center. Centrosome.
Tissue specificity. Ubiquitously expressed.
Disease relevance. Cortical dysplasia, complex, with other brain malformations 15 (CDCBM15) [MIM:618737] An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by global developmental delay, variably impaired intellectual development, speech delay, facial dysmorphism, microcephaly, and varying degrees of cortical malformations including pachygyria, thin corpus callosum and subcortical band heterotopia. Most patients have generalized seizures. The disease may be caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the TUBGCP family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 200 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
