Type: | Domain | Name: | Dynamin GTPase effector |
Description: | Dynamin GTPase effector domain found in proteins related to dynamin. Dynamin is a GTP-hydrolysing protein that is an essential participant in clathrin-mediated endocytosis by cells. It self-assembles into 'collars' in vivo at the necks of invaginated coated pits; the self-assembly of dynamin being coordinated by the GTPase domain. Mutation studies indicate that dynamin functions as a molecular regulator of receptor-mediated endocytosis []. | Short Name: | GED |
