Definition:

EC Tree > 3 Hydrolases > 3.6 Acting on acid anhydrides > 3.6.5 Acting on GTP to facilitate cellular and subcellular movement > 3.6.5.5 dynamin GTPase
Dynamin GTPase is a ~100 kDa GTPase involved in endocytosis and instrumental in pinching off membrane vesicles; it occurs in eukaryotes and bacteria. It hydrolyzes GTP into GDP and phosphate. In vesicle scission it constricts the neck. It features a dynamin-like GTPase bundle.
