Gene information for CAPG (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID822
Official gene symbolCAPG
Full namecapping protein (actin filament), gelsolin-like
Aliases,AFCP,MCP,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the gelsolin/villin family of actin-regulatory proteins. The encoded protein reversibly blocks the barbed ends of F-actin filaments in a Ca2+ and phosphoinositide-regulated manner, but does not sever preformed actin filaments. By capping the barbed ends of actin filaments, the encoded protein contributes to the control of actin-based motility in non-muscle cells. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed, but have not been fully described. [provided by RefSeq]
