Summary: Enables actin monomer binding activity and adenyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity. Involved in positive regulation of actin filament polymerization. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dilated cardiomyopathy. Orthologous to human CAP1 (cyclase associated actin cytoskeleton regulatory protein 1) and CAP2 (cyclase associated actin cytoskeleton regulatory protein 2).

What's a GeneRIF?

double mutation (V367A/I373A) eliminates these actin-regulatory functions of CAS-2. These hydrophobic residues and previously identified functional residues are scattered on a concave beta-sheet of the CARP domain, suggesting that a wide area of the beta-sheet is involved in binding to actin.
Title: Conserved hydrophobic residues in the CARP/β-sheet domain of cyclase-associated protein are involved in actin monomer regulation.
