EPN2 - epsin 2 Gene
Also Known as EHB21
Species: Homo sapiens
About EPN2
This gene has 27 transcripts (splice variants), 207 orthologues and 5 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in brain (RPKM 30.1), skin (RPKM 20.7) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a protein which interacts with clathrin and adaptor-related protein complex 2, alpha 1 subunit. The protein is found in a brain-derived clathrin-coated vesicle fraction and localizes to the peri-Golgi region and the cell periphery. The protein is thought to be involved in clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Alternate splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
