AmiGO 2: Term Details for "microtubule nucleation" (GO:0007020)

Accession: GO:0007020
Name: microtubule nucleation
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: None
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: The process in which tubulin alpha-beta heterodimers begin aggregation to form an oligomeric tubulin structure (a microtubule seed). Microtubule nucleation is the initiating step in the formation of a microtubule in the absence of any existing microtubules ('de novo' microtubule formation).
