Gene Symbol:

CAPZA3 Homo sapiens

Full name:

capping actin protein of muscle Z-line alpha subunit 3

Synonyms:

CAPPA3, Gsg3, HEL-S-86, F-actin-capping protein subunit alpha-3, CP-alpha-3, CapZ alpha-3, F-actin capping protein alpha-3 subunit, capping protein (actin filament) muscle Z-line, alpha 3, epididymis secretory protein Li 86, germ cell-specific protein 3, testis tissue sperm-binding protein Li 73n

Genomic Location:

Chr 12: 18782312-18783389

Description:

This gene encodes an actin capping protein, one of the F-actin capping protein alpha subunit family. The encoded protein is predominantly localized to the neck region of ejaculated sperm, other immunohistochemical signals were found in the tail and postacrosomal regions. The encoded protein may also form heterodimers of alpha and beta subunits. Thi...

View Full Description

This gene encodes an actin capping protein, one of the F-actin capping protein alpha subunit family. The encoded protein is predominantly localized to the neck region of ejaculated sperm, other immunohistochemical signals were found in the tail and postacrosomal regions. The encoded protein may also form heterodimers of alpha and beta subunits. This protein may be important in determining sperm architecture and male fertility.
