Also known as: Actx; beta-actin; E430023M04Rik
Summary: This gene encodes a member of the actin family of proteins. Actins are highly conserved proteins that are among the most abundant proteins in eukaryotic cells and are involved in cell motility, structure, and integrity. Localization, stability, and translation of the transcribed mRNA are regulated through the binding of multiple factors to its 3' UTR sequence. Homozygous knockout mice for this gene exhibit embryonic lethality. Numerous pseudogenes of this gene have been identified in the mouse genome. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]

Our data suggest that targeted disruption of L-plastin increases trabecular bone volume, and phosphorylation of Ser5 in L-plastin in the Lrrk1 signaling pathway may in part contribute to actin assembly in mature osteoclasts.
Title: LRRK1 regulation of actin assembly in osteoclasts involves serine 5 phosphorylation of L-plastin.
In beta-actin null cells, we show evidence that the enhanced TGF-b signaling relies on the active utilization of latent TGF-b1 in the cell culture medium. TGF-b signaling activation contributes to the elevated reactive oxygen species production, which is likely mediated by the upregulation of Nox4.

Data, including data from studies using knockout mice, suggest that Actb and Actg1 are enriched in isolated membrane preparations from skeletal muscle which represent interface between mitochondria and sarco-endoplasmic reticulum; these structures appear to be important in signaling, mitochondrial dynamics, and muscle relaxation.

These results suggest a a novel genome-wide mechanism where the polymerase-associated beta-actin synergizes with NM1 to coordinate permissive chromatin with Pol I transcription, cell growth, and proliferation.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
