Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 8436
Gene name Caveolae associated protein 2
Gene symbol CAVIN2
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
PS-p68SDPRSDRcavin-2
Chromosome 2
Chromosome location 2q32.3
Summary This gene encodes a calcium-independent phospholipid-binding protein whose expression increases in serum-starved cells. This protein is a substrate for protein kinase C (PKC) phosphorylation and recruits polymerase I and transcript release factor (PTRF) t

Protein name Caveolae-associated protein 2 (Cavin-2) (PS-p68) (Phosphatidylserine-binding protein) (Serum deprivation-response protein)
Protein function Plays an important role in caveolar biogenesis and morphology. Regulates caveolae morphology by inducing membrane curvature within caveolae (PubMed:19525939). Plays a role in caveola formation in a tissue-specific manner. Required for the format
