The dynamin family of GTPases is essential for receptor-mediated endocytosis and synaptic vesicle recycling, and it has recently been shown to play a role in vesicle formation from the trans-Golgi network (1). Dynamin-1 is a GTP-, microtubule-, and phospholipid-binding protein that is expressed primarily in brain and almost exclusively expressed in the central nervous system (2). Dynamin-1 is believed to assemble around the necks of clathrin-coated pits and assist in pinching vesicles from the plasma membrane. This role would make dynamin unique among GTPases in its ability to act as a mechanochemical enzyme (1). Dynamin-1 function is apparently essential for scission of newly formed vesicles from the plasma membrane; it has been proposed that dynamin is a regulator of downstream effectors of scission, rather than being directly responsible for it (3).
Applications:
Suitable for use in Western Blot, Immunoprecipitation. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. For long-term storage, store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
