Gene information for AP2A1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID160
Official gene symbolAP2A1
Full nameadaptor-related protein complex 2, alpha 1 subunit
Aliases,ADTAA,AP2-ALPHA,CLAPA1,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes the alpha 1 adaptin subunit of the adaptor protein 2 (AP-2) complex found in clathrin coated vesicles. The AP-2 complex is a heterotetramer consisting of two large adaptins (alpha or beta), a medium adaptin (mu), and a small adaptin (sigma). The complex is part of the protein coat on the cytoplasmic face of coated vesicles which links clathrin to receptors in vesicles. Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants encoding two different isoforms. A third transcript variant has been described, but its full length nature has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq]
