BAIAP2L1

BAIAP2L1, also known as Brain-specific angiogenesis inhibitor 1-associated protein 2-like protein 1, is a protein encoded by the BAIAP2L1 gene. It belongs to the I-BAR domain-containing protein family and is involved in various cellular processes, including actin cytoskeleton remodeling, membrane dynamics, and cell signaling. One of the primary functions of BAIAP2L1 is its role in regulating actin dynamics and cytoskeletal organization. It contains an I-BAR (inverse Bin-Amphiphysin-Rvs) domain, which allows it to bind to and induce curvature in membranes, particularly at sites of membrane protrusions such as filopodia and lamellipodia. Through its ability to interact with actin filaments and membrane phospholipids,...
