Name | FCHO2 |
---|---|
Function | Functions in an early step of clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Has both a membrane binding/bending activity and the ability to recruit proteins essential to the formation of functional clathrin-coated pits. Has a lipid-binding activity with a preference for membranes enriched in phosphatidylserine and phosphoinositides (Pi(4,5) biphosphate) like the plasma membrane. Its membrane-bending activity might be important for the subsequent action of clathrin and adaptors in the formation of clathrin-coated vesicles. Involved in adaptor protein complex AP-2- dependent endocytosis of the transferrin receptor, it also functions in the AP-2-independent endocytosis of the LDL receptor. |
Cellular Location | Membrane, clathrin-coated pit; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Note=Associated with forming but not mature clathrin- coated vesicles. The recruitment to coated-pits precede the one of clathrin and the adaptor protein complex AP-2 (By similarity) |
