Centrin 2
protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
Centrin-2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CETN2 gene. It belongs to the centrin family of proteins.
Centrin-2 belongs to a family of calcium-binding proteins and is a structural component of the centrosome. The high level of conservation from algae to humans and its association with the centrosome suggested that centrin-2 plays a fundamental role in the structure and function of the microtubule-organizing center, possibly required for the proper duplication and segregation of the centrosome.
Interactions
CETN2 has been shown to interact with XPC and SFI1.

“Centrin 2” enters the record as protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Centrin, protein-coding and gene can confirm, complicate or overturn.
Why this record matters
“Centrin 2” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Centrin, protein-coding and gene provides the most credible route into that argument.
Datasets, specimens, observations and peer-reviewed methods provide the appropriate test for the technical claims summarized here. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q17861403. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
How to read it
Check terminology, classification and the date of the cited evidence. Scientific names and technical consensus can change while older records retain historical value.
- Current terminology
- Classification context
- Finding cited technical literature
Primary datasets, specimen catalogues, standards bodies and the most recent peer-reviewed literature.
Three-step research path
- Establish the record: confirm the title “Centrin 2”, its source revision and the description used here.
- Expand the search: follow Centrin 2 primary sources, Centrin 2 archive and Centrin research across catalogues and specialist indexes.
- Test the account: compare the strongest cited source with the responsible institution’s current record and note any disagreement.
