DESCRIPTION

Also known as PACN1_MOUSE, Pacsin1, Pacsin. Binds to membranes via its F-BAR domain and mediates membrane tubulation. Plays a role in the reorganization of the microtubule cytoskeleton via its interaction with MAPT; this decreases microtubule stability and inhibits MAPT-induced microtubule polymerization. Plays a role in cellular transport processes by recruiting DNM1, DNM2 and DNM3 to membranes. Plays a role in the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton and in neuron morphogenesis via its interaction with COBL and WASL, and by recruiting COBL to the cell cortex. Plays a role in the regulation of neurite formation, neurite branching and the regulation of neurite length. Required for normal synaptic vesicle endocytosis; this process retrieves previously released neurotransmitters to accommodate multiple cycles of neurotransmission. Required for normal excitatory and inhibitory synaptic transmission. Homodimer. May form heterooligomers with other PACSINs. Interacts with both COBL and DBNL. Identified in a complex composed of COBL, PACSIN1 and WASL. Interacts with EHD3 (By similarity). Interacts (via SH3 domain) with SYNJ1 and WASL. Interacts (via SH3 domain) with DNM1; the interaction is reduced by DNM1 phosphorylation. Interacts with DNM2 and DNM3. Interacts with MAPT. Interacts with EHD1. Interacts with TRPV4.
