products description :
Macrophage-capping protein, also known as CAPG, belongs to the gelsolin/villin family of actin-regulatory proteins. CAPG is a calcium-sensitive DNA-binding protein that plays a role in macrophage function. It is expressed in macrophages and macrophage-like cells and can localize both to the nucleus and the cytoplasm. This protein reversibly blocks the barbed ends of F-actin filaments in a Ca2+ and phosphoinositide-regulated manner, but does not sever preformed actin filaments. Recombinant human CAPG was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.

ncbi 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]
uniprot summary :
CAPG: Calcium-sensitive protein which reversibly blocks the barbed ends of actin filaments but does not sever preformed actin filaments. May play an important role in macrophage function. May play a role in regulating cytoplasmic and/or nuclear structures through potential interactions with actin. May bind DNA. Belongs to the villin/gelsolin family. Protein type: Motility/polarity/chemotaxis. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 2p11.2. Cellular Component: F-actin capping protein complex; melanosome; nucleus. Molecular Function: actin binding. Biological Process: protein complex assembly; cell projection biogenesis; barbed-end actin filament capping
