AP2B1 ADTB2 CLAPB1

AP2B1

The protein encoded by this gene is one of two large chain components of the assembly protein complex 2, which serves to link clathrin to receptors in coated vesicles. The encoded protein is found on the cytoplasmic face of coated vesicles in the plasma membrane. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Function:Component 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. AP2B1 is a subunit of the plasma membrane adaptor. The complex binds polyphosphoinositides.,similarity:Belongs to the adaptor complexes large subunit family.,subcellular location:Component of the coat surrounding the cytoplasmic face of coated vesicles in the plasma membrane.,subunit:Adaptor protein complex 2 (AP-2) is an heterotetramer composed of two large adaptins (alpha-type subunit AP2A1 or AP2A2 and beta-type subunit AP2B1), a medium adaptin (mu-type subunit AP2M1) and a small adaptin (sigma-type subunit AP2S1). Binds EPN1, EPS15, SNAP91 and clathrin.,

Cell membrane . Membrane, coated pit ; Peripheral membrane protein ; Cytoplasmic side . AP-2 appears to be excluded from internalizing CCVs and to disengage from sites of endocytosis seconds before internalization of the nascent CCV.
