Facts about Sorting nexin-18.
Plays a role in endocytosis via clathrin-coated pits, but also clathrin-independent, actin-dependent fluid-phase endocytosis. Plays a role in macropinocytosis.

Endomembrane system; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Endosome membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Localized at sites of endocytosis at the cell membrane. Detected on newly formed macropinosomes. Partially colocalized with clathrin and dynamin at the cell membrane. Transiently recruited to clathrin-coated pits at a late stage of clathrin-coated vesicle formation.
