AP2M1 adaptor related protein complex 2 subunit mu 1

Gene ID: 1173, updated on 7-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: mu2; AP50; MRD60; CLAPM1

Summary

This gene encodes a subunit of the heterotetrameric coat assembly protein complex 2 (AP2), which belongs to the adaptor complexes medium subunits family. The encoded protein is required for the activity of a vacuolar ATPase, which is responsible for proton pumping occurring in the acidification of endosomes and lysosomes. The encoded protein may also play an important role in regulating the intracellular trafficking and function of CTLA-4 protein. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2015]
