About CAPG

Cytogenetic location: 2p11.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 2:85,391,602-85,419,540 (from NCBI)

This gene has 15 transcripts (splice variants), 211 orthologues and 7 paralogues. Broad expression in lung (RPKM 44.7), esophagus (RPKM 37.5) and 22 other tissues.

Summary

This 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 for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]
