NECAP1 NECAP endocytosis associated 1

Gene ID: 25977, updated on 11-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: DEE21; EIEE21

Summary

This gene encodes a protein containing two characteristic WXXF motifs. The encoded protein localizes to clathrin-coated vesicles, where it binds components of the adapter protein complexes and aids in endocytosis. Loss of function of this gene results in early infantile epileptic encephalopathy-21. There is a pseudogene for this gene on chromosome 7. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2014]
