Epsin R is enriched in clathrin-coated vesicles and associates with clathrin and AP1 (adaptor protein complex 1). EpsinR plays a role in transport of vesicles in the endosomal/trans-Golgi network and at the synapses of neurons. The EpsinR gene has been associated with the genetic susceptibility to schizophrenia. Alternative names for EpsinR include Epsin-4, Epsin-related protein, enthoprotin, clathrin interactor 1, Clint, CLINT1, ENTH, EPN4, EPNR, and KIAA0171.
