PICALM CALM

Phosphatidylinositol-binding clathrin assembly protein (Clathrin assembly lymphoid myeloid leukemia protein)

This gene encodes a clathrin assembly protein, which recruits clathrin and adaptor protein complex 2 (AP2) to cell membranes at sites of coated-pit formation and clathrin-vesicle assembly. The protein may be required to determine the amount of membrane to be recycled, possibly by regulating the size of the clathrin cage. The protein is involved in AP2-dependent clathrin-mediated endocytosis at the neuromuscular junction. A chromosomal translocation t(10;11)(p13;q14) leading to the fusion of this gene and the MLLT10 gene is found in acute lymphoblastic leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia and malignant lymphomas. The polymorphisms of this gene are associated with the risk of Alzheimer disease. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Disease:A chromosomal aberration involving PICALM is found in diffuse histiocytic lymphomas. Translocation t(10;11)(p13;q14) with MLLT10.,Function:Assembly protein recruiting clathrin and adaptor protein complex 2 (AP2) to cell membranes at sites of coated-pit formation and clathrin-vesicle assembly. May be required to determine the amount of membrane to be recycled, possibly by regulating the size of the clathrin cage. Involved in AP2-dependent clathrin-mediated endocytosis at the neuromuscular junction.,similarity:Contains 1 ENTH (epsin N-terminal homology) domain.,subcellular location:Colocalized with clathrin in the Golgi area.,subunit:Binds clathrin; involves primarily the C-terminal sequences, but the full-length protein is required for full binding capacity. Binds phosphatidylinositol-4,5- bisphosphate.,tissue specificity:Expressed in all tissues examined.,
