Summary

Name CAPZA1
Full Name F-actin-capping protein subunit alpha-1
Synonyms CapZ alpha-1
Primary ID P52907
Links - -
Type protein
Relations 5
Inhibitors 1D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate; phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate
Function F-actin-capping proteins bind in a Ca(2+)-independent manner to the fast growing ends of actin filaments (barbed end) thereby blocking the exchange of subunits at these ends. Unlike other capping proteins (such as gelsolin and severin), these proteins do not sever actin filaments. May play a role in the formation of epithelial cell junctions.
