sce:CAP1
Genes: 31
SGD DescriptionAlpha 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 alpha subunit
AspGD DescriptionOrtholog(s) have actin filament binding activity and role in actin cytoskeleton organization, barbed-end actin filament capping, cellular protein localization, mitotic cytokinesis, regulation of cell shape
