AP3M2 adaptor related protein complex 3 subunit mu 2

Gene ID: 10947, updated on 10-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: P47B; AP47B; CLA20

Summary

This gene encodes a subunit of the heterotetrameric adaptor-related protein comlex 3 (AP-3), which belongs to the adaptor complexes medium subunits family. The AP-3 complex plays a role in protein trafficking to lysosomes and specialized organelles. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified.
