| Primary Identifier | IPR037453 | Type | Domain |
| Short Name | PACSIN2_F-BAR |
| description | PACSIN2 (protein kinase C and casein kinase substrate in neurons protein 2, also known as Syndapin-2) belongs to the PACSIN family that contains a N-terminal F-BAR (FCH-BAR) domain and a C-terminal SH3 domain []. They are cytoplasmic phosphoproteins that play a role in vesicle formation and transport []. PACSIN2 interacts with several proteins such as Rac1, dynamin, Neuronal Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome Protein (N-WASP), and synaptojanin via its C-terminal Src homology 3 (SH3) domain []. PACSIN2 negatively regulates the EGF (epidermal growth factor) receptor activation and signaling [, ]. It plays an important role in caveolae membrane sculpting []. This entry represents the F-BAR domain of PACSIN2. F-BAR domains are dimerization modules that bind and bend membranes and are found in proteins involved in membrane dynamics and actin reorganization []. |
