About Caprin2

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the caprin family. The encoded protein may function as an RNA-binding protein that induces the formation of RNA granules and plays an important role in brain function. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2014]
