CD2AP

CD2AP (CD2 Associated Protein) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with CD2AP include Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis 3 and Sporadic Idiopathic Steroid-Resistant Nephrotic Syndrome With Focal Segmental Hyalinosis. Among its related pathways are Primary Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis FSGS and Nephrin interactions. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include SH3 domain binding and structural constituent of cytoskeleton. An important paralog of this gene is SH3KBP1.

CD2 associated protein

Seems to act as an adapter protein between membrane proteins and the actin cytoskeleton (PubMed:10339567).
In collaboration with CBLC, modulates the rate of RET turnover and may act as regulatory checkpoint that limits the potency of GDNF on neuronal survival. Controls CBLC function, converting it from an inhibitor to a promoter of RET degradation (By similarity).
May play a role in receptor clustering and cytoskeletal polarity in the junction between T-cell and antigen-presenting cell (By similarity).
May anchor the podocyte slit diaphragm to the actin cytoskeleton in renal glomerolus. Also required for cytokinesis (PubMed:15800069).
Plays a role in epithelial cell junctions formation (PubMed:22891260).

Cytoskeleton; Ruffle; Cell junction. Colocalizes with F-actin and BCAR1/p130Cas in membrane ruffles (PubMed:10339567). Located at podocyte slit diaphragm between podocyte foot processes (By similarity). During late anaphase and telophase, concentrates in the vicinity of the midzone microtubules and in the midbody in late telophase (PubMed:15800069).

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis 3 (FSGS3): A renal pathology defined by the presence of segmental sclerosis in glomeruli and resulting in proteinuria, reduced glomerular filtration rate and progressive decline in renal function. Renal insufficiency often progresses to end-stage renal disease, a highly morbid state requiring either dialysis therapy or kidney transplantation.

Phosphorylated on tyrosine residues; probably by c-Abl, Fyn and c-Src.
