Several cases of endometrial cancers along with few cases of gliomas, pancreatic and liver cancers showed moderate cytoplasmic and/or nuclear positivity. Remaining tumors were weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
AP2M1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
AP50, CLAPM1, mu2
Description
Adaptor-related protein complex 2, mu 1 subunit (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a subunit of the heterotetrameric coat assembly protein complex 2 (AP2), which belongs to the adaptor complexes medium subunits family. The encoded protein is required for the activity of a vacuolar ATPase, which is responsible for proton pumping occurring in the acidification of endosomes and lysosomes. The encoded protein may also play an important role in regulating the intracellular trafficking and function of CTLA-4 protein. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2015]
