AP1G1

Also known as ADTG, CLAPG1, adaptor related protein complex 1 gamma 1 subunit, adaptor related protein complex 1 subunit gamma 1, USRISD

AP-1 complex subunit gamma-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the AP1G1 gene.

Name: adaptor related protein complex 1 subunit gamma 1
Type: protein-coding
Aliases: ADTG, CLAPG1, USRISD

Adaptins are important components of clathrin-coated vesicles transporting ligand-receptor complexes from the plasma membrane or from the trans-Golgi network to lysosomes. The adaptin family of proteins is composed of four classes of molecules named alpha, beta-, beta prime- and gamma- adaptins. Adaptins, together with medium and small subunits, form a heterotetrameric complex called an adaptor, whose role is to promote the formation of clathrin-coated pits and vesicles. The protein encoded by this gene is a gamma-adaptin protein and it belongs to the adaptor complexes large subunits family. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
