FCHSD2 (NM_014824) Human Recombinant Protein

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 (PubMed:29887380) . Promotes endocytosis of EGFR in cancer cells, and thereby contributes to the down-regulation of EGFR signaling (PubMed:30249660) . 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 (PubMed:29887380) . Binds to membranes enriched in phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate or phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PubMed:29887380) . 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 (PubMed:29887380) .[UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot Function]
