What (who) is F-actin capping protein - definition


F-actin capping protein         
A HETERODIMER CONSISTING OF ALPHA AND BETA SUBUNITS THAT BINDS TO AND CAPS THE BARBED ENDS OF ACTIN FILAMENTS, THEREBY REGULATING THE POLYMERIZATION OF ACTIN MONOMERS BUT NOT SEVERING ACTIN FILAMENTS.
In molecular biology, the F-actin capping protein is a protein complex which binds in a calcium-independent manner to the fast-growing ends of actin filaments (barbed end), thereby blocking the exchange of subunits at these ends. Unlike gelsolin and severin this protein does not sever actin filaments.

The head domain of vinculin associates to E-cadherin via [[α-catenin]], [[β-catenin]], and [[γ-catenin]]. The tail domain of vinculin binds to membrane lipids and to actin filaments.

Actin is a family of globular multi-functional proteins that form microfilaments in the cytoskeleton, and the thin filaments in muscle fibrils. It is found in essentially all eukaryotic cells, where it may be present at a concentration of over 100 μM; its mass is roughly 42 kDa, with a diameter of 4 to 7 nm.
