    basic FUNCTION
  • involved in establishment and/or maintenance of cell polarity
  • playing a key role in speeding up the turnover of actin filaments by effectively recycling cofilin and actin
  • CAP1 provides likely a direct link from the actin cytoskeleton to the mitochondria by functioning as an actin shuttle
  • involvement of CAP1 in the aggressive behavior of pancreatic cancer cells
  • novel cellular function for CAP1 in regulating cell adhesion
  • involved in the regulation of actin filaments, and recently reported to play a role in cell motility and the pathology of pancreatic cancer
  • is the bona fide receptor for resistin leading to inflammation
  • play a role in cell motility and in the development of certain types of cancer
  • exerts cell type-dependent functions in the invasiveness of breast cancer cells
  • functions for CAP1 in cancer cell proliferation and anchorage-independent growth, again in a cell context-dependent manner
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell organization/biogenesis

    small molecule
    protein
  • binding to adenyl cyclase , CAP2, actin
  • identified as a novel and most efficient substrate of gelatinase B/MMP9
  • actin- and cofilin-interacting protein CAP1 has a role in apoptosis
  • CAP1 is a functional receptor for RETN that directly binds to CAP1 in monocytes and upregulates cyclic AMP (cAMP) concentration, protein kinase A (PRKA) activity, and NFKB1-related transcription of inflammatory cytokine
