ADAPTOR-RELATED PROTEIN COMPLEX 4

EPSILON-1 SUBUNIT
AP4E1

Gene Description

  • Gene Symbol: AP4E1 Gene Name: adaptor related protein complex 4 subunit epsilon 1 MIM number: 607244 HGNC ID: HGNC: 573 Chromosomal location: 15q21.2 Gene groups: Adaptor related protein complex 4 Clathrin/coatomer adaptor, adaptin-like, N-terminal domain containingGene
  • Function in summary: Component of the adaptor protein complex 4 (AP-4). Adaptor protein complexes are vesicle coat components involved both in vesicle formation and cargo selection. They control the vesicular transport of proteins in different trafficking pathways (PubMed:10066790, PubMed:10436028).
