EHD protein family
Encyclopedia
The EHD protein family comprises a group of protein that function in intracellular trafficking
and that possess a dynamin
like structural fold.
In humans, four proteins are characterized as belonging to this family:
Vesicle (biology)
A vesicle is a bubble of liquid within another liquid, a supramolecular assembly made up of many different molecules. More technically, a vesicle is a small membrane-enclosed sack that can store or transport substances. Vesicles can form naturally because of the properties of lipid membranes , or...
and that possess a dynamin
Dynamin
Dynamin is a GTPase responsible for endocytosis in the eukaryotic cell. Dynamins are principally involved in the scission of newly formed vesicles from the membrane of one cellular compartment and their targeting to, and fusion with, another compartment, both at the cell surface as well as at the...
like structural fold.
In humans, four proteins are characterized as belonging to this family:
