Summary

Bridging Integrator 1 (BIN1) is the second strongest genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease after APOE4. BIN1 encodes a BAR domain protein involved in membrane dynamics, endocytosis, and cytoskeletal regulation. In neurons, BIN1 modulates tau propagation by regulating endosomal trafficking and tau release via extracellular vesicles. BIN1 also interacts with clathrin and AP-2 to control synaptic vesicle recycling. AD-associated BIN1 variants increase tau pathology spreading and reduce synaptic function. BIN1 is expressed in both neurons and oligodendrocytes, with cell-type-specific roles in disease. BIN1 represents a promising therapeutic target for slowing tau propagation.
