SGD DescriptionBeta subunit of the capping protein heterodimer (Cap1p and Cap2p); capping protein (CP) binds to the barbed ends of actin filaments preventing further polymerization; localized predominantly to cortical actin patches; protein increases in abundance and relocalizes from bud neck to plasma membrane upon DNA replication stress
PomBase DescriptionF-actin capping protein beta subunit Acp2
AspGD DescriptionOrtholog(s) have actin filament binding activity and role in barbed-end actin filament capping, filamentous growth, mitotic actomyosin contractile ring contraction
