The gene CAPG (macrophage-capping gene) is mapped to human chromosome 2p11.2. It belongs to gelsolin protein family. The protein localizes in the cytoplasm and nucleus.
Synonyms: Anti-Actin regulatory protein CAP-G; Anti-Macrophage-capping protein
Storage: -20C
Application: All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

Biochem Physiol Actions: CAPG (macrophage-capping protein) is involved in regulation of actin length via capping the plus or barbed ends in a Ca2+- and PIP2 (phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate)-dependent manner. It is also identified as an oncogene. CAPG is up-regulated in breast cancer, ovarian cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma and lung cancer.
