Facts about Calmodulin-regulated spectrin-associated protein 2.
Acts on free microtubule minus-ends that aren't capped by microtubule-nucleating proteins or other factors and protects microtubule minus-ends from depolymerization (PubMed:24486153, PubMed:24706919). In addition, it also decreases the speed of microtubule polymerization (PubMed:24486153, PubMed:24706919).

Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Golgi apparatus. Associated with the minus-end of microtubules and also detected at the centrosomes (PubMed:23169647, PubMed:24486153, PubMed:24908486, PubMed:24706919, PubMed:27666745, PubMed:28814570). Decorates the minus-end of microtubules by decreasing the rate of tubulin incorporation and remaining bound (PubMed:24486153). The length of CAMSAP2-decorated stretches on the minus-end of microtubules depends on MAPRE1/EB1 and MAPRE3/EB3, which promote elongation of CAMSAP2-decorated microtubule stretches (PubMed:28814570). Recruited to the Golgi apparatus by AKAP9 an
