AP2A2( Human )
adaptor related protein complex 2 alpha 2 subunit
Alias
ADTAB|CLAPA2|HIP-9|HIP9|HYPJ
The protein encoded by this gene is a subunit of the AP-2 adaptor protein complex, which is involved in linking lipid and protein membrane components with the clathrin lattice. This interaction supports the formation of clathrin-coated vesicles, and the encoded subunit aids in the process by binding polyphosphoinositide-containing lipids in the cell membrane.
