Background
This gene encodes a member of the epsin protein family. The encoded protein binds clathrin and is involved in the endocytosis of clathrin-coated vesicles. Loss of function of this gene is associated with reduced tumor growth and progression in certain cancer types. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2016],domain:The DPW repeat domain is involved in AP2A2 and clathrin binding.,domain:The NPF repeat domain is involved in EPS15 binding.,function:Binds to membranes enriched in phosphatidylinositol-4,5-biphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P2). Modifies membrane curvature and facilitates the formation of clathrin-coated invaginations (By similarity). Regulates receptor-mediated endocytosis.,online information:The bubble's bend -Issue 42 of January 2004,PTM:Phosphorylated on serine and/or threonine residues in mitotic cells. Phosphorylation reduces interaction with REPS2, AP-2 and the membrane fraction. Depolarization of synaptosomes results in dephosphorylation.,PTM:Ubiquitinated.,similarity:Belongs to the epsin family.,similarity:Contains 1 ENTH (epsin N-terminal homology) domain.,similarity:Contains 2 UIM (ubiquitin-interacting motif) repeats.,subcellular location: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.,subunit:Monomer. Binds clathrin, ZBTB16/ZNF145 and ITSN1. Binds ubiquitinated proteins (By similarity). Binds REPS2, EPS15, AP2A1 and AP2A2. Interacts with RALBP1 in a complex also containing NUMB and TFAP2A during interphase and mitosis.,
