Protein kinase C and casein kinase substrate in neurons protein 1 is an
enzyme
Enzymes () are proteins that act as biological catalysts by accelerating chemical reactions. The molecules upon which enzymes may act are called substrate (chemistry), substrates, and the enzyme converts the substrates into different molecule ...

gene
In biology, the word gene (from , ; "... Wilhelm Johannsen coined the word gene to describe the Mendelian units of heredity..." meaning ''generation'' or ''birth'' or ''gender'') can have several different meanings. The Mendelian gene is a b ...

Interactions
PACSIN1 has been shown to
interact
Advocates for Informed Choice, dba interACT or interACT Advocates for Intersex Youth, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization using innovative strategies to advocate for the legal and human rights of children with intersex traits. The organizat ...
with GTPases of the Dynamin family (Dynamin 1, 2 and 3).
Based on this interaction, its localization and functional role the protein was named syndapin I (synaptic dynamin-associated protein I) - a scientific more useful and more widely used name than PACSIN1.

DNM1
Dynamin-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ''DNM1'' gene.
Function
This gene encodes a member of the dynamin subfamily of GTP-binding proteins. The encoded protein possesses unique mechanochemical properties used to tubulate and s ...

Subsequently, a variety of further interactions have been published (see PubMED database and search for syndapin I).
