About Capza2

Summary

Predicted to enable actin filament binding activity. Predicted to be involved in actin Cytoskeleton organization and barbed-end actin filament capping. Predicted to act upstream of or within actin filament capping. Located in brush border; cortical cytoskeleton; and membrane. Part of F-actin capping protein complex. Is expressed in nervous system; submandibular gland primordium; thymus primordium; and vibrissa. Orthologous to human CAPZA2 (capping actin protein of muscle Z-line subunit alpha 2).
