Description

BIN3 (Bridging Integrator 3) encodes a member of the BAR (Bin/Amphiphysin/Rvs) domain protein family. BAR domains are involved in membrane curvature sensing and remodeling, endocytosis, and intracellular trafficking. BIN3 is widely expressed and plays roles in cell division, neuronal development, and cancer biology.

Protein Summary

BIN3 is a BAR domain-containing protein that localizes to membranes and participates in endocytic processes. It can form homodimers and heterodimers with other BAR proteins, influencing membrane curvature. BIN3 is implicated in synaptic vesicle recycling and may act as a tumor suppressor in certain cancers.
