Amphiphysin, a dominant autoantigen in paraneoplastic Stiff-man syndrome, is a neuronal protein highly concentrated in nerve terminals. It is an abundant presynaptic protein that interacts via its COOH-terminal src homology 3 (SH3) domain with the GTPase dynamin and the inositol-5-phosphatase synaptojanin and additionally directly to clathrin.
Amphiphysin, dynamin and synaptojanin have a putative role in synaptic vesicle recycling and undergo rapid dephosphorylation in synaptosomes stimulated by a depolarizing stimulus. Two isoforms are known which seem to act in concert as a heterodimer.
