ACTG2 - actin gamma 2, smooth muscle Gene
Also Known as ACT; ACTE; VSCM; ACTA3; ACTL3; ACTSG; VSCM1; MMIHS5
Species: Homo sapiens
About ACTG2
This gene has 9 transcripts (splice variants), 120 orthologues, 26 paralogues and is associated with 5 phenotypes. Biased expression in prostate (RPKM 1093.2), urinary bladder (RPKM 1063.1) and 7 other tissues.
Summary
Actins are highly conserved proteins that are involved in various types of cell motility and in the maintenance of the Cytoskeleton. Three types of actins, alpha, beta and gamma, have been identified in vertebrates. Alpha actins are found in muscle tissues and are a major constituent of the contractile apparatus. The beta and gamma actins co-exist in most cell types as components of the Cytoskeleton and as mediators of internal cell motility. This gene encodes actin gamma 2; a smooth muscle actin found in enteric tissues. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. Based on similarity to peptide cleavage of related actins, the mature protein of this gene is formed by removal of two N-terminal peptides.[provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]
