Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
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).
