DNM2 (Dynamin-2) is an enzyme. In the public catalogues the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role. Tied to Leukaemia, Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Colorectal cancer and 3 more. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.

Biology

Catalyses the hydrolysis of GTP and utilises this energy to mediate vesicle scission at plasma membrane during endocytosis and filament remodeling at many actin structures during organisation of the actin cytoskeleton. Plays an important role in vesicular trafficking processes, namely clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME), exocytic and clathrin-coated vesicle from the trans-Golgi network, and PDGF stimulated macropinocytosis. During vesicular trafficking process, associates to the membrane, through lipid binding, and self-assembles into ring-like structure through oligomerisation to form a helical polymer around the vesicle membrane and leading to vesicle scission. Plays a role in organisation of the actin cytoskeleton by mediating arrangement of stress fibres and actin bundles in podocytes. During organisation of the actin cytoskeleton, self-assembles into ring-like structure that directly bundles actin filaments to form typical membrane tubules decorated with dynamin spiral polymers. Self-assembly increases GTPase activity and the GTP hydrolysis causes the rapid depolymerisation of dynamin spiral polymers, and results in dispersion of actin bundles. Location: Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton; Cytoplasmic vesicle, clathrin-coated vesicle; Cell projection, uropodium; Endosome (UniProt). Locus 19p13.2 (HGNC).
