A gamma function is the solution to a specific integral. It is useful for physical applications and has very little theoretical interest value for mathematicians. It is occasionally also related to the "error functions." Its simplest expression is at...

In mathematics, the Gamma function (represented by the capitalized Greek letter Γ) is an extension of the factorial function to real and complex numbers. For a complex number z with positive real part it is defined...

Microtubule arrays play critical roles in intracellular organization and cell division in all eukaryotes. During cell division, microtubule arrays guide mitotic spindle and phragmoplast assembly and function. In animal cells, interphase microtubule arrays perform a number of functions, including transport and positioning of organelles,...

[gamma ]-Tubulin localizes to microtubule-organizing centers in animal and fungal cells where it is important for microtubule nucleation. Plant cells do not have morphologically defined microtubule organizing centers, however, and [gamma ]-tubulin is distributed in small, discrete structures along microtubules. The great difference in...
