Facts about Caprin-2.
May regulate the transport and translation of mRNAs, regulating for instance the expression of proteins involved in synaptic plasticity in neurons (By similarity). Involved in regulation of growth since erythroblasts shift from a highly proliferative state towards their terminal phase of differentiation (PubMed:14593112).
