Dynamin-1 (phospho-S774) polyclonal antibody

Members of the Dynamin family, including Dynamin I and Dynamin II, are GTPase, microtubule-associated proteins which are involved in endocytosis, synaptic transmission and neurogenesis. Dynamin I is localized to the central nervous system, while Dynamin II exhibits ubiquitous distribution with highest expression in testis. Both Dynamin proteins contain SH3 and proline-rich domains that mediate interactions between the Dynamins and effectors of their GTPase activity. The interactions with these effectors, which include microtubules, acidic phospholipids and SH3 domain-containing proteins, are required for rapid endocytosis. Dynamin I appears to be recruited to Clathrin coated pits by SH3 domain interaction with Amphiphysin, a protein highly expressed in brain.
