Entrez Gene summary for ACTA2:
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the actin family of proteins, which are highly conserved proteins that play
a role in cell motility, structure and integrity. Alpha, beta and gamma actin isoforms have been identified, with
alpha actins being a major constituent of the contractile apparatus, while beta and gamma actins are involved in the
regulation of cell motility. This actin is an alpha actin that is found in skeletal muscle. Defects in this gene cause
aortic aneurysm familial thoracic type 6. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have
been identified. (provided by RefSeq, Nov 2008)

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: ACTA_HUMAN, P62736
Function: Actins are highly conserved proteins that are involved in various types of cell motility and are ubiquitously
expressed in all eukaryotic cells

summary for ACTA2:
Actin is a ubiquitous globular protein that is one of the most highly-conserved proteins known. It is found
in two main states; G-actin is the globular monomeric form, whereas F-actin forms helical polymers. Both G-
and F-actin are intrinsically flexible structures - a feature vital in actin's role as a dynamic filament
network. Actin has four major functions. Firstly, F-actin polymers form microfilaments - polar intracellular
'tracks' for kinesin motor proteins, allowing the transport of vesicles, organelles and other cargo. Actin
is a component of the cytoskeleton and links to alpha-actinin, E-cadherin and beta-catenin at adherens
junctions. This gives mechanical support to cells and attaches them to each other and the extracellular
matrix. In muscle cells, actin-rich thin filaments associate with myosin-rich thick filaments to form
actomyosin myofibrils. Using energy from the hydrolysis of ATP, myofibrils undergo cyclic shortening through
actin-myosin head interactions, which represents the mechanics of muscle contraction. Finally, actin has a
role in cell motility through polymerization and depolymerization of fibrils.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: ACTA_HUMAN, P62736 (See protein sequence)
Recommended Name: Actin, aortic smooth muscle precursor  
Size: 377 amino acids; 42009 Da
Subunit: Polymerization of globular actin (G-actin) leads to a structural filament (F-actin) in the form of a
two-stranded helix. Each actin can bind to 4 others
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton
Miscellaneous: In vertebrates 3 main groups of actin isoforms, alpha, beta and gamma have been identified. The alpha
actins are found in muscle tissues and are a major constituent of the contractile apparatus. The beta and gamma actins
coexist in most cell types as components of the cytoskeleton and as mediators of internal cell motility

  • Note=ACTA2 mutations predispose patients to a variety of diffuse and diverse vascular diseases, premature
  • onset coronary artery disease (CAD), premature ischemic strokes and Moyamoya disease
  • Defects in ACTA2 are the cause of familial aortic aneurysm thoracic type 6 (AAT6) [MIM:611788]. AATs are
  • characterized by permanent dilation of the thoracic aorta usually due to degenerative changes in the aortic wall. They
    are primarily associated with a characteristic histologic appearance known as 'medial necrosis' or 'Erdheim cystic
    medial necrosis' in which there is degeneration and fragmentation of elastic fibers, loss of smooth muscle cells, and
    an accumulation of basophilic ground substance
  • Defects in ACTA2 are the cause of Moyamoya disease type 5 (MYMY5) [MIM:614042]. Moyamoya disease is a
  • progressive cerebral angiopathy characterized by bilateral intracranial carotid artery stenosis and telangiectatic
    vessels in the region of the basal ganglia. The abnormal vessels resemble a 'puff of smoke' (moyamoya) on cerebral
    angiogram. Affected individuals can develop transient ischemic attacks and/or cerebral infarction, and rupture of the
    collateral vessels can cause intracranial hemorrhage. Hemiplegia of sudden onset and epileptic seizures constitute the
    prevailing presentation in childhood, while subarachnoid bleeding occurs more frequently in adults
  • Defects in ACTA2 are the cause of multisystemic smooth muscle dysfunction syndrome (MSMDYS) [MIM:613834].
  • MSMDYS is a syndrome characterized by dysfunction of smooth muscle cells throughout the body, leading to aortic and
    cerebrovascular disease, fixed dilated pupils, hypotonic bladder, malrotation, and hypoperistalsis of the gut and
    pulmonary hypertension
