Brief description Dynamin has roles in nerve cell communication and in cell division. There are 3 dynamin genes: dynamin I in brain; dynamin II in all cells; and dynamin III in brain and testes. Determination of potential selectivity of small molecule dynamin inhibitors for each dynamin gene can provide a basis for the development of new antiepileptic drugs which are specific for dynamin I and thus neuronal tissues, as well as new anticancer drugs that target dynamin II in nonneuronal cells.
