γ-tubulin, γ tubulin, γtubulin, γ-Tub, gamma-tubulin
microtubule nucleating factor - eggs produced by mutant mothers show an arrest of nuclear divisions during early embryogenesis and a disruption in the anterior-posterior axis - required for bicoid mRNA localization

The testis specificity index was calculated from modENCODE tissue expression data by Vedelek et al., 2018 to indicate the degree of testis enrichment compared to other tissues. Scores range from -2.52 (underrepresented) to 5.2 (very high testis bias).

Please Note This section lists cDNAs and ESTs that fall within the genomic extent of the gene model, which may include cDNAs and ESTs of genes within introns, or of overlapping genes. Please see JBrowse for alignment of the cDNAs and ESTs to the gene model.
For each fully sequenced cDNA the DGRC maintains various forms of the cDNA (e.g tagged or untagged) in several different host vectors for subsequent cloning and expression in Drosophila and Drosophila cell lines.
dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene tested in RNAi screen for effects on Kc167 and S2R+ cell morphology.
γTub37C is essential for nuclear proliferation in the early embryo.
Maternal effect mutant that affects early embryogenesis.
Subcellular localisation of the protein during the cell cycle of cells with and without centrioles is determined. Data suggests centrioles are not essential to the formation of a functional mitotic spindle, but participate in the focal concentration of γTub23C and γTub37C protein during both interphase and mitosis.
Located between coordinates +50.1 and +60.1.
Mutations in γTub37C show a maternal effect with defects in fertilisation or very early embryonic development.
Identification: Saturation mutagenesis of Df(2L)TW130.
Eight independent occurrences recovered by Wright, four more by Schupbach.
