AAK
Clathrin-mediated endocytosis requires the assembly of a protein coat on the membrane in order to induce curvature and form a spherical invagination. Adaptor-associated kinase 1 (AAK1; EC 2.7.11.1) is a regulatory protein in clathrin-coated vesicle endocytic pathway that phosphorylates the μ subunit of the clathrin-adaptor protein complexes. Evidence has accumulated that AAK1 is involved in the regulation of ALS[1], nociception[2], immunology[3], and Notch signaling[4].
