TBCA is a tubulin-folding protein which is involved in the early step of the tubulin folding pathway. TBCA is one of four proteins （cofactors A， D， E， and C） implicated in the pathway directing to properly folded beta-tubulin from folding intermediates. Cofactors A and D are thought to be a factor in capturing and stabilizing beta-tubulin in a quasi-native confirmation. TBCA is crucial for cell viability， if reduced it causes a decrease in the amount of soluble tubulin， alterations in microtubules and G1 cell cycle arrest. Cofactor E attaches to the cofactor D-tubulin complex， afterward， interaction with cofactor C triggers the release of tubulin polypeptides that are committed to the native state.
