AP3M2


Description

The AP3M2 (adaptor related protein complex 3 subunit mu 2) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 8.

AP-3 complex, a non-clathrin adaptor complex, is involved in vesicle budding from the Golgi apparatus and plays a role in trafficking to lysosomes. It localizes to the Golgi region and peripheral structures. In collaboration with the BLOC-1 complex, AP-3 is essential for directing cargo into vesicles formed at cell bodies, ensuring delivery to neurites and nerve terminals.

AP3M2 is also known as AP47B, CLA20, P47B.
