- Background
- Bin1 is a conserved member of the BAR family of genes that have been implicated in diverse cellular processes including endocytosis, actin organization, programmed cell death, stress responses, and transcriptional control. The first mammalian BAR protein to be discovered, Amphiphysin I (AmphI), was identified in an immunoscreen for proteins associated with the plasma membranes of synaptic neurons, functions in the control of clathrin-dependent synaptic vesicle endocytosis. The mammalian Bin1 gene was first identified in a two hybrid screen for polypeptides that bind to the N-terminal Myc box 1 (MB1) portion of the c-Myc oncoprotein. Bin1 is similar to AmphI in overall structure, with an N-terminal BAR domain and a C-terminal SH3 domain. However, the Bin1 gene is more complex than the AmphI gene, encoding at least seven different splice variants that differ widely in subcellular localization, tissue distribution, and ascribed functions. Alternate splicing of the Bin1 gene results in ten transcript variants encoding different isoform. Bin1 is expressed ubiquitously in mammalian cells. Certain splice variants of Bin1 are expressed in the neurons, muscle cells or tumor cells. Bin1 may act as a cancer suppressor and inhibits malignant cell transformation. Studies in mouse suggest that this gene plays an important role in cardiac muscle development. Bin1 has also been implicated in Alzheimer disease and cardiac disease. Defects in Bin1 are the cause of centronuclear myopathy autosomal recessive; also known as autosomal recessive myotubular myopathy.

- Cancer, Cancer Susceptibility, Cell Biology, Cell Cycle, Cell Cycle Inhibitors, Epigenetics and Nuclear Signaling, Host-Virus Interaction, Interspecies Interaction, Microbiology, Oncoproteins/Suppressors, Transcription, Tumor Suppressors
- Purification
- Anti-BIN1 was purified from clarified mouse ascetic fluid by Protein A chromatography followed by extensive dialysis against the buffer stated above. BIN1 antibody is specific for human BIN1 protein. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with BIN1 from human and mouse sources based on 100% homology with the immunizing sequence. Cross-reactivity with BIN1 from other sources has not been determined.
