The phosphoinositide coincidence detector Phafin2 promotes macropinocytosis by coordinating actin organisation at forming macropinosomes
Macropinocytosis permits the cellular uptake of fluids and nutrients via macropinosomes. Here, the authors show that Phafin2 is required for the formation of macropinosomes and permits their transit through dense actin networks.
