ACTR1B

Also known as ARP1B, CTRN2, PC3, ARP1 actin-related protein 1 homolog B, centractin beta, ARP1 actin related protein 1 homolog B, actin related protein 1B

Beta-centractin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ACTR1B gene.

Gene data

ACTR1B

Name: actin related protein 1B
Type: protein-coding
Aliases: ARP1B, CTRN2, PC3

This gene encodes a 42.3 kD subunit of dynactin, a macromolecular complex consisting of 10 subunits ranging in size from 22 to 150 kD. Dynactin binds to both microtubules and cytoplasmic dynein and is involved in a diverse array of cellular functions, including ER-to-Golgi transport, the centripetal movement of lysosomes and endosomes, spindle formation, chromosome movement, nuclear positioning, and axonogenesis. This subunit, like ACTR1A, is an actin-related protein. These two proteins, which are of equal length and share 90% amino acid identity, are present in a constant ratio of approximately 1:15 in the dynactin complex. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2008].
