This gene has a calcium-independent phospholipid-binding protein whose expression increases in serum-starved cells. This protein has also been shown to be a substrate for protein kinase C (PKC) phosphorylation.<ref name="entrez"/>

== Function == Cavin-2 is required for blood vessel formation (angiogenesis) in humans and zebrafish and required also for the endothelial cell proliferation, migration and invasion in humans.<ref name="Boopathy_2017" /> Cavin-2 plays an important role in endothelial cell maintenance by regulating eNOS activity.<ref name="Boopathy_2017" /> Cavin-2 controls the generation of nitric oxide (NO) in human endothelial cells by controlling the activity and stability of the protein endothelial nitric-oxide synthase (eNOS).<ref name="Boopathy_2017" />

== Secretion == Cavin-2 is highly secreted from human endothelial cells (HUVEC), they are secreted through endothelial microparticles (EMPs) but not exosomes and is required for EMP biogenesis.<ref name="Boopathy_2017" />

== Clinical significance ==

SDPR is shown to act as a metastasis suppressor by xenograft studies utilizing breast cancer cell lines.<ref name="pmid26739564">{{cite journal | vauthors = Ozturk S, Papageorgis P, Wong CK, Lambert AW, Abdolmaleky HM, Thiagalingam A, Cohen HT, Thiagalingam S | display-authors = 6 | title = SDPR functions as a metastasis suppressor in breast cancer by promoting apoptosis | journal = Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America | volume = 113 | issue = 3 | pages = 638–43 | date = January 2016 | pmid = 26739564 | pmc = 4725521 | doi = 10.1073/pnas.1514663113 | bibcode = 2016PNAS..113..638O | doi-access = free }}</ref> SDPR may elicit its metastasis suppressor function by directly interacting with ERK and limiting its pro-survival role.<ref name="pmid26739564"/> Moreover, it is suggested that SDPR is silenced during breast cancer progression by promoter DNA methylation.<ref name="pmid26739564"/> Metastasis suppressor role of SDPR may go beyond breast cancer since tumor samples from bladder, colorectal, lung, pancreatic, and ovarian cancers as well as sarcomas also exhibited loss of SDPR expression.<ref name="pmid26739564"/>
