GENE INFORMATION

Gene name

AP3M2 (HGNC Symbol)

Synonyms

AP47B, CLA20

Description

Adaptor-related protein complex 3, mu 2 subunit (HGNC Symbol)

Entrez gene 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.
