Facts about F-BAR domain only protein 2.
Has a lipid-binding activity with a preference for membranes enriched in phosphatidylserine and phosphoinositides (Pi(4,5) biphosphate) such as the plasma membrane. Its membrane-bending activity might be important for the subsequent actions of clathrin and adaptors in the formation of clathrin-coated vesicles.
