Overview
CENTD2 Phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate-dependent GTPase-activating protein that modulates actin cytoskeleton remodeling by regulating ARF and RHO family members. Is activated by phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P3) binding. Can be activated by phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P2) binding, albeit with lower efficiency. Has a preference for ARF1 and ARF5. Detected in heart, skeletal muscle, spleen, kidney, liver, placenta, lung, peripheral blood leukocytes, adrenal gland, bone marrow, brain, lymph node, mammary gland, prostate, spinal cord, stomach, thyroid and trachea. 7 alternatively spliced human isoforms have been reported. [6]
Function
The protein encoded by this gene contains ARF-GAP, RHO-GAP, ankyrin repeat, RAS-associating, and pleckstrin homology domains. In vitro, this protein displays RHO-GAP and phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5) trisphosphate (PIP3)-dependent ARF-GAP activity. The encoded protein associates with the Golgi, and the ARF-GAP activity mediates changes in the Golgi and the formation of filopodia. The RHO-GAP activity may mediate cell rounding and loss of stress fibers. At least three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene, but the full-length natures of all variants have not been determined.[5]
Phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate-dependent GTPase-activating protein that modulates actin cytoskeleton remodeling by regulating ARF and RHO family members, has a preference for ARF1 and ARF5, Positively regulates the ring size of circular dorsal ruffles and promotes macropinocytosis, acts as a bridging factor in osteoclasts to control actin and membrane dynamics, regulates the condensing of osteoclast podosomes into sealing zones which segregate the bone-facing membrane from other membrane domains and are required for osteoclast resorption activity, also regulates recruitment of the AP-3 complex to endosomal membranes and trafficking of lysosomal membrane proteins to the ruffled membrane border of osteoclasts to modulate bone resorption, regulates the endocytic trafficking of EGFR, regulates the incorporation of CD63 and CD9 into multivesicular bodies , and required in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) for photoreceptor survival due to its role in promoting RPE phagocytosis.[7]

Disease association
Genome-wide association studies in populations of European ancestry have identified nine SNP's (single nuclear polymorphisms) on chromosome 11 that contributes to an independent as well as cumulative effect on the risk of developing type II diabetes mellitus.[9] CENTD2 is significantly associated with decreased glucose-stimulated insulin release and increased plasma glucose values, suggesting that an impaired pancreatic beta cell function is the mediator to the diabetogenic effect of this locus.
