Comments

Comment Type Description
Function Subunit of the adaptor protein complex 2 (AP-2). Adaptor protein complexes function in protein transport via transport vesicles in different membrane traffic pathways. Adaptor protein complexes are vesicle coat components and appear to be involved in cargo selection and vesicle formation. AP-2 is involved in clathrin-dependent endocytosis in which cargo proteins are incorporated into vesicles surrounded by clathrin (clathrin-coated vesicles, CCVs) which are destined for fusion with the early endosome. The complex binds polyphosphoinositides. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15054111}.
Interaction Q9ZVN6:AP180; NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-2366827, EBI-2366853;
Sequence Caution Sequence=BAB10137.1; Type=Erroneous gene model prediction; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
Similarity Belongs to the adaptor complexes large subunit family. {ECO:0000305}.
Similarity Contains 1 GAE domain. {ECO:0000305}.
Similarity Contains 4 HEAT repeats. {ECO:0000305}.
Subcellular Location Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15574830, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17644812}. Membrane, coated pit {ECO:0000250}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000250}; Cytoplasmic side {ECO:0000250}. Note=Component of the coat surrounding the cytoplasmic face of coated vesicles in the plasma membrane. {ECO:0000250}.
Subunit Adaptor protein complex 2 (AP-2) is a heterotetramer composed of two large adaptins (alpha-type and beta-type subunits), a medium adaptin (mu-type subunit) and a small adaptin (sigma-type subunit) (By similarity). Interacts with AP180. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15054111}.
