NCIt synonyms : Capping Protein, Alpha-2 Gene; CAPPA2; Cap Protein, Actin, Alpha-2 Subunit Gene; Capping Actin Protein of Muscle Z-Line Alpha Subunit 2 wt Allele; CAPZ; Capping Protein (Actin Filament) Muscle Z-Line, Alpha 2 Gene;
NCIt definition : Human CAPZA2 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 7q31.2 and is approximately
111 kb in length. This allele, which encodes F-actin-capping protein subunit alpha-2
protein, plays a role in the modulation of actin polymerization.;
NCIt note : A chromosomal aberration that fuses the CAPZA2 gene and the MET gene may be associated
with gastric cancer. (Oncogene. 2014; 33:5434-5441.);
