Anti-AP3M2 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein adaptor related protein complex 3 subunit mu 2. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 418 amino acid residues and a mass of 47 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cytoplasmic vesicles, Golgi, and membrane. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is notably widely expressed in many tissue types. A member of the Adaptor complexes medium subunit protein family, AP3M2 is known to be a part of the AP-3 complex, an adaptor-related complex which is not clathrin-associated.
The AP3M2 marker can be used to identify CD4+ ?ß Memory T Cells.* Synonyms for this target antigen include CLA20, P47B, AP-3 complex subunit mu-2, HA1 47 kDa subunit homolog 2, HA1 47kDA subunit homolog 2, and AP47B. AP3M2 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some AP3M2 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, ELISA is also a common application.
