EHD3 Antibody – Rabbit Polyclonal

This gene encodes a member of the EH domain-containing protein family. These proteins are characterized by a C-terminal EF-hand domain, a nucleotide-binding consensus site at the N terminus and a bipartite nuclear localization signal. The encoded protein interacts with the actin cytoskeleton through an N-terminal domain and also binds to an EH domain-binding protein through the C-terminal EH domain. This interaction appears to connect clathrin-dependent endocytosis to actin, suggesting that this gene product participates in the endocytic pathway. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

EHD2: Plays a role in membrane reorganization in response to nucleotide hydrolysis. Binds to liposomes and deforms them into tubules. Plays a role in membrane trafficking between the plasma membrane and endosomes. Important for the internalization of GLUT4. Required for normal fusion of myoblasts to skeletal muscle myotubes. Binds ATP; does not bind GTP.
