Ap2b1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable clathrin binding activity. Involved in clathrin-dependent endocytosis and postsynaptic neurotransmitter receptor internalization. Acts upstream of or within circulatory system development and kidney development. Part of AP-2 adaptor complex. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human AP2B1 (adaptor related protein complex 2 subunit beta 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Ap2b1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
