Intersectin 1: Proteins and Enzymes

Intersectin 1 is an adapter protein that may provide an indirect link between the endocytic membrane traffic and the actin assembly machinery. It may regulate the formation of clathrin-coated vesicles. Isoform 1 could be involved in brain-specific synaptic vesicle recycling. Intersectin 1 is overexpressed in brain from Down syndrome foetuses suggesting a gene dosage-dependent contribution to the abnormalities of Down syndrome. Intersectin 1 interacts with dynamin, CDC42, SNAP25 and ...
