Localization and characterization of tubulin-like proteins associated with brain mitochondria: the presence of a membrane-specific isoform.

abstract：:We have identified a novel mouse gene named pancortin that is expressed dominantly in the mature cerebral cortex. This gene produces four different species of proteins, Pancortin-1-4, sharing a common region in the middle of their structure with two variations at the N-terminal (A1 or A2 part) and C-terminal (C1 or C2...
