cap-2

Gene
cap-2
Protein
F-actin-capping protein subunit beta
Organism
Caenorhabditis elegans
Length
270 amino acids
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.
Similarity
Belongs to the F-actin-capping protein beta subunit family.
Mass
30.786 kDa
