Double C2-like domain-containing protein beta is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DOC2B gene.[1][2]

There are at least two protein isoforms of the Double C2 protein, namely alpha (DOC2A) and beta (DOC2B), which contain two C2-like domains. DOC2A and DOC2B are encoded by different genes; these genes are at times confused with the unrelated DAB2 gene which was initially named DOC-2. Doc2b enhances Ca(2+)-dependent exocytosis in adipocytes,[3] chromaffin cells of the adrenal gland[4] and beta cells in the pancreas.[5] In the central nervous system, Doc2b contributes to the spontaneous release of neurotransmitters by acting as a high-affinity Ca(2+) sensor for exocytosis of synaptic vesicles[6]
