Activity summary

CAMSAP2 also known as calmodulin-regulated spectrin-associated protein family member 2 is a microtubule-stabilizing protein with a molecular mass of approximately 198 kDa. It binds to the minus ends of microtubules stabilizing them and regulating their dynamics. CAMSAP2 is expressed in various tissues with a significant presence in neuronal tissue. The protein plays a vital role in stabilizing the microtubule network which influences cellular architecture and intracellular transport.

Biological function summary

The regulation of microtubule dynamics by CAMSAP2 ensures proper neuronal development and function. CAMSAP2 is part of a protein complex that is essential for maintaining microtubule integrity and organization. It interacts with other proteins such as CAMSAP1 and CAMSAP3 each playing distinct roles in microtubule arrangement. These interactions help in maintaining cellular structures which are necessary for processes like cellular division and differentiation.

Pathways

CAMSAP2 is involved in microtubule-associated pathways critical for cell stability and signaling. The protein is part of the axon guidance pathway where it functions alongside other proteins including PTEN and CRMP2 to ensure correct neural network formation. CAMSAP2 also engages in the regulation of cytoskeleton organization pathways where it collaborates with microtubule-associated proteins to support cellular morphology and dynamics.

Associated diseases and disorders

CAMSAP2 plays a part in conditions affecting the nervous system such as neurodevelopmental disorders and certain neurodegenerative diseases. Mutations or dysregulation of CAMSAP2 have been linked to intellectual disabilities due to its role in neuronal structure and signaling. This protein also interacts with tau a protein commonly associated with neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease suggesting a potential link between CAMSAP2 function and tauopathies.
