Gene

Cav2

Species
Mus musculus
Symbol
Cav2
Name
caveolin 2
Synonyms
  • AI447843
  • expressed sequence AI447843
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Enables several functions, including protein heterodimerization activity; protein kinase binding activity; and scaffold protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of transforming growth factor beta receptor signaling pathway; regulation of endothelial cell proliferation; and skeletal muscle fiber development. Located in acrosomal membrane and caveola. Part of caveolar macromolecular signaling complex. Colocalizes with focal adhesion. Is expressed in bronchiole epithelium; embryo; and lung. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in low tension glaucoma and primary open angle glaucoma. Orthologous to human CAV2 (caveolin 2).
MGI Description
PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele show lung parenchyma hypercellularity, alveolar constriction and septal thickening, impaired exercise endurance, and skeletal muscle defects. Mice homozygous for a different null allele show reduced tumor vascularization and growth of subcutaneously implanted tumors. [provided by MGI curators]
