Function

This gene was identified by its similarity to the gene for human adenylyl cyclase-associated protein. The function of the protein encoded by this gene is unknown. However, the protein appears to be able to interact with adenylyl cyclase-associated protein and actin.^[7]

Interactions

CAP2 has been shown to interact with CAP1.^[6]
