Deltaadaptins
Deltaadaptins are a family of proteins that play a crucial role in the endocytosis process, which is the cellular mechanism by which cells take up extracellular material. They are characterized by their ability to adapt to different types of cargo and to form complexes with other proteins to facilitate the internalization of various ligands. Deltaadaptins are named for their similarity to the epsilon-adaptin family, which also functions in endocytosis but with distinct cargo specificity.
The deltaadaptin family includes several members, each with its own unique cargo-binding properties. For example, deltaadaptin-1
Deltaadaptins function by binding to the cytoplasmic tails of their respective receptors and forming a complex
The deltaadaptin family is conserved across different species, indicating its importance in various biological processes. Mutations
