(Adaptor-Related Protein Complex 2, mu 1 Subunit (AP2M1))
The heterotetrameric coat assembly protein complex, also known as the adaptor-related protein complex 2 (AP-2), belongs to the adaptor complexes medium subunits family. The mu 1 subunit of the AP-2 complex (AP2M1) is required for the activity of a vacuolar ATPase, which is responsible for proton pumping occurring in the acidification of endosomes and lysosomes. AP2M1 has also been shown to associate with the HIV-1 protein Nef, suggesting that Nef may use AP-2 complex to enhance the rate of endocytosis of both CD4 and class I MHC. AP2M1 may also play an important role in regulating the intracellular trafficking and function of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated (CTLA)-4 protein. At least two isoforms of AP2M1 are known to exist.Synonyms: AP-2 mu-2 chain, Adaptin-mu2, CLAPM1, Clathrin assembly protein complex 2 medium chain, Clathrin coat assembly protein AP50, Clathrin coat-associated protein AP5, HA2 50 kDa subunit, KIAA0109, Plasma membrane adaptor AP-2 50 kDa protein
