Endophilin A1 Promotes Actin Polymerization in Dendritic Spines Required for Synaptic Potentiation

Endophilin A1 is a member of the N-BAR domain-containing endophilin A protein family that is involved in membrane dynamics and trafficking. At the presynaptic terminal, endophilin As participate in synaptic vesicle recycling and autophagosome formation. By gene knockout studies, here we report that...
