NCIt synonyms : Ca -Dependent Secretion Activator 2; Ca2 -Dependent Activator Protein for Secretion 2; Ca2 Dependent Secretion Activator 2; Ca -Dependent Activator Protein for Secretion 2; CAPS-2; Calcium-Dependent Activator Protein for Secretion 2; CADPS2; Calcium Dependent Secretion Activator 2;
NCIt definition : Calcium-dependent secretion activator 2 (1296 aa, 148 kDa) is encoded by the human
CADPS2 gene. This protein is involved in the secretion of neurotrophins.;
NCIt note : Variation in the calcium-dependent secretion activator 2 protein may be associated
with breast cancer as a patient with chemorefractory hormone receptor (HR)-positive
metastatic breast cancer had complete regression of the cancer for over 22 months
after treatment with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) that targeted mutant forms
of this and three other proteins that were expressed in the patient's tumor in conjunction
with aldesleukin and pembrolizumab. (Nature Medicine 2018; 24:724-730);
