DNM3 encodes dynamin 3, a brain-specific GTPase with roles in synaptic vesicle endocytosis and postsynaptic trafficking. Dynamin 3 is enriched at excitatory synapses and regulates AMPA receptor internalization during synaptic plasticity. It also participates in dendrite morphogenesis and spine formation. Dynamin 3 has distinct subcellular localization from dynamin 1, functioning in postsynaptic compartments.
Brain-specific expression. Highest in hippocampus and cortex. Localizes to dendritic spines and postsynaptic densities.
| Disease | Variants | Inheritance | Mechanism |
|---|---|---|---|
| Intellectual Disability | Deletions | De novo | Impaired synaptic plasticity |
| Schizophrenia | Variants | Risk factor | Synaptic dysfunction |
| Alzheimer's Disease | Promoter variants | Risk factor | Postsynaptic deficits |
| Parkinson's Disease | Variants | Risk factor | Synaptic dysfunction |
