Gene:
adaptor-related protein complex 2, alpha 2 subunit
Gene ID:
208395
Symbol:
AP2A2
Species:
1000
Description:
Adaptins are components of the adaptor complexes which link clathrin to receptors in coated vesicles. Clathrin-associated protein complexes are believed to interact with the cytoplasmic tails of membrane proteins, leading to their selection and concentration. Alpha adaptin is a subunit of the plasma membrane adaptor. Binds polyphosphoinositides (By similarity).
