AP-2 complex subunit mu, AP-2 mu chain, Adapter-related protein complex 2 subunit mu, Adaptin-mu2, Clathrin assembly protein complex 2 mu medium chain, Clathrin coat assembly protein AP50
Adaptins are heterotetrameric subunits of adaptors, which are complexes involved in the formation of Clathrin-coated pits for vesicle-mediated endocytosis. Involved in clathrin-dependent endocytosis in which cargo proteins are incorporated into vesicles surrounded by clathrin (clathrin-coated vesicles, CCVs) which are destined for fusion with the early endosome.
