CapG Antibody

CapG ("Caps" barbed actin ends and resembles Gelsolin; also Macrophage capping protein/MCP and actin regulatory protein Cap-G) is a 40-42 kDa member of the Villin/Gelsolin family of proteins. It is expressed by macrophages/monocytes and endothelial cells, and is found in both cytoplasm and nucleus. It appears to be involved in cell motility, and is known to bind to (but not cleave) actin filament ends in a calcium-dependent manner. This regulates the growth of actin filaments. Human CapG is 348 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains an N-terminal gelsolin repeat (aa 27-75), followed by a NLS (aa 137-146), two consecutive gelsolin-like repeats (aa 148-188 and 261-307), and one utilized phosphorylation site at Ser337. There is at least one potential isoform variant that contains a deletion of aa 64-84. Full-length human CapG shares 91% aa sequence identity with mouse CapG.
