Gene information for CAPZA3 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID93661
Official gene symbolCAPZA3
Full namecapping protein (actin filament) muscle Z-line, alpha 3
Aliases,CAPPA3,Gsg3,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes an actin capping protein, one of the F-actin capping protein alpha subunit family. The encoded protein is predominantly localized to the neck region of ejaculated sperm, other immunohistochemical signals were found in the tail and postacrosomal regions. The encoded protein may also form heterodimers of alpha and beta subunits. This protein may be important in determining sperm architecture and male fertility. [provided by RefSeq]
