  • involved in endocytosis (
  • can act as a signal transducing GTPase affecting transcriptional regulation (
  • regulates actin assembly and actin filament organization at membranes through an interaction with cortactin (
  • implicated in actin assembly in phagocytosis in Sertoli cells
  • involved in actin dynamics and the formation of dynamin 2-positive ruffles during phagocytosis

    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • forming a protein complex with FNBP1, SRGAP2 and WAS
  • syndapin-dynamin complexes, crucial and sufficient to promote vesicle formation from the trans-Golgi network
  • complex formation of FNBP1 with WAS, WIPF1, and dynamin-2 at the plasma membrane is critical for the formation of podosomes and phagocytic cups
  • SH3KBP1–DNM2 complex appears to function predominantly at later stages of EGFR trafficking, namely in the transport of receptors from RAB7-positive late endosomes
  • component of the neuromuscular junction post-synaptic compartment
  • DNM2, CLTC and lipid rafts mediate SLC12A1 endocytosis and maintain steady-state apical surface SLC12A1 in native renal thick ascending limb (THAL)
  • addition of NME1 or NME2 to DNM2 facilitates DNM2 oligomerization and increases GTPase activity, both required for vesicle scission

    Other DNM2 activity may be temporally regulated by phosphorylation of DNM2 via the kinase CDK1 in spermatogonia, and dephosphorylation by phosphatase PPP3CA during meiotic and post-meiotic spermatogenesis
