Fcho2 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables identical protein binding activity; phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate binding activity; and phosphatidylserine binding activity. Involved in membrane invagination; protein localization to plasma membrane; and synaptic vesicle endocytosis. Located in clathrin-coated vesicle and plasma membrane. Is active in clathrin-coated pit. Is expressed in endolymphatic appendage and head. Orthologous to human FCHO2 (FCH and mu domain containing endocytic adaptor 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Fcho2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
