Alpha-actin-2 also known as actin aortic smooth muscle or alpha smooth muscle actin (α-SMA SMactin alpha-SM-actin ASMA) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ACTA2 gene located on 10q22-q24.Actin alpha 2 the human aortic smooth muscle actin gene is one of six different actin isoforms which have been identified. Actins are highly conserved proteins that are involved in cell motility structure and integrity.
