Gene: CAPZA2

Alternate names for this Gene: CAPPA2|CAPZ

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the F-actin capping protein alpha subunit family. It is the alpha subunit of the barbed-end actin binding protein Cap Z. By capping the barbed end of actin filaments, Cap Z regulates the growth of the actin filaments at the barbed end.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 7

Location in Chromosome : 7q31.2

Description of this Gene: capping actin protein of muscle Z-line subunit alpha 2

Type of Gene: protein-coding
