Literature on FCHSD2
FCHSD2 [ENSP00000386722]
F-BAR and double SH3 domains protein 2; Adapter protein that plays a role in endocytosis via clathrin-coated pits. Contributes to the internalization of cell surface receptors, such as integrin ITGB1 and transferrin receptor . Promotes endocytosis of EGFR in cancer cells, and thereby contributes to the down-regulation of EGFR signaling . Recruited to clathrin-coated pits during a mid-to- late stage of assembly, where it is required for normal progress from U-shaped intermediate stage pits to terminal, omega-shaped pits . Binds to membranes enriched in phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate or phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate . When bound to membranes, promotes actin polymerization via its interaction with WAS and/or WASL which leads to the activation of the Arp2/3 complex. Does not promote actin polymerisation in the absence of membranes .
