    text peripheral membrane protein associated with the cytoplasmic surface of synaptic vesicles.
    basic FUNCTION
  • involved in synaptic vesicle endocytosis in the nerve terminals,by binding to the coat protein adaptor
  • may be participating in mechanisms of regulated exocytosis in synapses and certain endocrine cell types
  • involved in clathrin-mediated endocytosis
  • essential for cellular phagocytosis and that it is critical for actin polymerization
  • important in the regulation of actin dynamics and it is required for phagocytosis
  • AMPH functions synergistically with full-length DNM2 to catalyze vesicle release

    protein
  • CDK5-dependent phosphorylation of AMPH is enhanced in the presence of lipid membranes
  • dephosphorylated by calcineurin during nerve terminal depolarization and synaptic vesicle endocytosis (SVE)
  • is the cytoplasmic substrate for CDKL5 and its phosphorylation may play crucial roles in the neuronal development
    • cell & other synaptic vesicle associated
    REGULATION
    Phosphorylated by CDKL5 (remarkably phosphorylated by CDKL5)
