Epsin-2 Proteins and Enzymes

Elucidation of the mechanism by which receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) modulate cellular physiology in response to stimuli is critical to the understanding of growth regulation. Miscues in RTK signaling pathways can result in cellular transformation and ultimately in cancer. Two novel EGF receptor substrates designated EGF-receptor pathway substrates 8 and 15, or Eps8 and Eps15, have been described. Epsin is a 90 kDa binding partner to Eps15. Both epsin and Eps15 have an ubiquitous tissue ...
