Abstract excerpt
CapZ is a widely distributed and highly conserved actin-binding protein that caps the barbed end of actin filaments and nucleates actin polymerization in a Ca(2+)-independent manner. In myofibrils, it is localized in the Z-lines. In this study, we cloned and characterized Capz subunit genes from the pig muscle. The nucleotide sequences and the predicted protein sequences share high sequence identity with other...
