== 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.<ref name="entrez" />

== Interactions ==

CAP2 has been shown to [interact](/source/Protein-protein_interaction) with [CAP1](/source/CAP1).<ref name="pmid8761950" />
