Gene Information

human ... CAPZB(832)

General description

CAPZB (capping actin protein of muscle Z-line β subunit) gene is mapped to human chromosome 1p36.13. It is widely expressed in pharyngeal arch, and also in lymphoid cells, seminiferous ducts, urothelium and placenta. The gene codes for β-subunit of the barbed-end F-actin-binding protein.

Immunogen

capping protein (actin filament) muscle Z-line, beta recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

All Prestige Antibodies®Powered by Atlas Antibodies is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.
Anti-CAPZB antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunoblotting and immunofluorescence procedures.

Biochem/physiol Actions

CAPZB (capping actin protein of muscle Z-line βsubunit) is a heterodimeric protein that caps the growing end of F-actin. This actin-capping protein facilitates the joining of actin filaments to the Z-line of the sarcomere in muscles, thereby modulating the cytoskeleton. The protein regulates actin filament dynamics by blocking actin filament assembly and disassembly, and thereby, modulating cell shape and movement in vitro. It is known to promote cell motility by increasing the depolymerization and capping of actin filaments. CAPZB is associated with tumor progression in cases of epithelioid sarcoma.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
