Epsin 2 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Target Background

This gene encodes a protein which interacts with clathrin and adaptor-related protein complex 2, alpha 1 subunit. The protein is found in a brain-derived clathrin-coated vesicle fraction and localizes to the peri-Golgi region and the cell periphery. The protein is thought to be involved in clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Alternate splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],caution:The sequence shown here is derived from an Ensembl automatic analysis pipeline and should be considered as preliminary data.,domain:The DPW repeat domain is involved in AP-2 and clathrin binding.,domain:The NPF repeat domain is involved in EPS15 binding.,function:Plays a role in the formation of clathrin-coated invaginations and endocytosis.,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:In punctate structures throughout the cell, associated with clathrin-coated vesicles, and particularly concentrated in the region of the Golgi complex.,subunit:Binds EPS15 (By similarity). Binds AP-2 and clathrin.,tissue specificity:Highest expression is found in brain. Detected at lower levels in lung and liver.,
