Abstract excerpt
Epsins are endocytic adaptors with putative functions in general aspects of clathrin-mediated endocytosis as well as in the internalization of specific membrane proteins. We have now tested the role of the ubiquitously expressed epsin genes, Epn1 and Epn2, by a genetic approach in mice. While either gene is dispensable for life, their combined inactivation results in embryonic lethality at E9.5-E10, i.e., at the...
