Actin beta (HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee abbreviation ACTB/ACTB) is one of six different
cytoskeletal actins. Actins are highly conserved proteins[5][6] that are involved in cell motility, structure and integrity. Alpha actins are a major constituent of the contractile apparatus.[7]
Interactions
Actin beta has been shown to
Sam68 was found to interact with the mRNA encoding actin beta, which regulates the synaptic formation of the dendritic spines with its cytoskeletal components.Actin beta has been shown to activate eNOS, thereby increasing NO production. An eight-amino acid motif (326-333) in eNOS has been shown to mediate the interaction between actin and eNOS.[10]
Clinical relevance
Recurrent mutations in this gene have been associated to cases of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.[11]
Applications
Actin beta is often used in
qPCR. Its molecular weight is approximately 42 kDa.[citation needed
