Predicted to enable actin binding activity and adenylate cyclase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cytoskeleton organization; muscle cell cellular homeostasis; and neuron development. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including adult head; adult heart; amnioproctodeal invagination; epithelial furrow; and ganglia. 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).
FB Description
capulet (capt) encodes a conserved actin binding protein that functions across eukaryotes to negatively regulate actin filament assembly. Different types of actin filament formation are differentially affected by the loss of capt.
