Gene: AP2A2

Alternate names for this Gene: ADTAB|CLAPA2|HIP-9|HIP9|HYPJ

Gene Summary: 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.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 11

Location in Chromosome : 11p15.5

Description of this Gene: adaptor related protein complex 2 subunit alpha 2

Type of Gene: protein-coding
