EPN1 Epsin-1 EPS-15-interacting protein 1 EH domain-binding mitotic phosphoprotein
Molecular Weight(MW)
60293 Da
Function
Binds to membranes enriched in phosphatidylinositol 4,5- bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P2). Modifies membrane curvature and facilitates the formation of clathrin-coated invaginations (By similarity). Regulates receptor-mediated endocytosis
Tissue Specificity
A synthetic peptide corresponding to residues in human Epsin-1 was used as an immunogen
Cellular Localization
Cytoplasm (By similarity). Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein (By similarity). Nucleus (By similarity). Membrane, clathrin-coated pit (By similarity) Note=Associated with the cytoplasmic membrane at sites where clathrin-coated pits are forming. Colocalizes with clathrin and AP-2 in a punctate pattern on the plasma membrane. Detected in presynaptic nerve terminals and in Golgi stacks. May shuttle to the nucleus when associated with ZBTB16/ZNF145 (By similarity)
