Description
Product Characteristics:
Subunit of clathrin-associated adaptor protein complex 1 that plays a role in protein sorting in the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and endosomes. The AP complexes mediate the recruitment of clathrin to membranes and the recognition of sorting signals within the cytosolic tails of transmembrane cargo molecules.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm, Cell membrane
Synonyms: mu2, MU1B, MU-1B, HSMU1B, AP1-mu2, AP-1 complex subunit mu-2, AP-mu chain family member mu1B, Adaptor protein complex AP-1 subunit mu-2, Adaptor-related protein complex 1 subunit mu-2, Clathrin assembly protein complex 1 mu-2 medium chain 2, Golgi adaptor HA1/AP1 adaptin mu-2 subunit, Mu-adaptin 2, Mu1B-adaptin, AP1M2
Target Information: This gene encodes a subunit of the heterotetrameric adaptor-related protein comlex 1 (AP-1), which belongs to the adaptor complexes medium subunits family. This protein is capable of interacting with tyrosine-based sorting signals. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
