{"symbol":"CAVIN2","synonyms":[],"name":"caveolae associated protein 2","description":"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) to caveolae. Removal of this protein causes caveolae loss and its over-expression results in caveolae deformation and membrane tubulation.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]","ncbiEntrezGeneId":8436,"ncbiEntrezGeneUrl":"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gove/gene/8436","proteins":[],"hgncRootFamilies":[]}
