Pacsin1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables cytoskeletal protein binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and phospholipid binding activity. Involved in plasma membrane tubulation; protein localization to membrane; and synaptic vesicle endocytosis. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of endocytosis. Located in COPI-coated vesicle and ruffle membrane. Is active in photoreceptor ribbon synapse and presynaptic endocytic zone. Is expressed in central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; nasal cavity epithelium; and retina. Orthologous to human PACSIN1 (protein kinase C and casein kinase substrate in neurons 1).

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Pacsin1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
