Weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity was observed in most cancer tissues. Strong staining was observed in several cases of glioma.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
AP1B1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
ADTB1, AP105A, BAM22, CLAPB2
Description
Adaptor-related protein complex 1, beta 1 subunit (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
Adaptor protein complex 1 is found at the cytoplasmic face of coated vesicles located at the Golgi complex, where it mediates both the recruitment of clathrin to the membrane and the recognition of sorting signals within the cytosolic tails of transmembrane receptors. This complex is a heterotetramer composed of two large, one medium, and one small adaptin subunit. The protein encoded by this gene serves as one of the large subunits of this complex and is a member of the adaptin protein family. This gene is a candidate meningioma gene. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
