Dynamin is a GTPase that plays a vital role in clathrin-dependent endocytosis and other
vesicular trafficking processes by acting as a pair of molecular scissors for newly formed
vesicles originating from the plasma membrane. Dynamins and related proteins are
important components for the cleavage of clathrin-coated vesicles, phagosomes, and
mitochondria. These proteins help in organelle division, viral resistance, and mitochondrial
fusion/fission. Dysfunction and mutations in dynamin have been implicated in the …
