Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 160
Gene name Adaptor related protein complex 2 subunit alpha 1
Gene symbol AP2A1
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
ADTAAAP2-ALPHACLAPA1
Chromosome 19
Chromosome location 19q13.33
Summary This gene encodes the alpha 1 adaptin subunit of the adaptor protein 2 (AP-2) complex found in clathrin coated vesicles. The AP-2 complex is a heterotetramer consisting of two large adaptins (alpha or beta), a medium adaptin (mu), and a small adaptin (sig
