Ap4m1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable protein domain specific binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including post-Golgi vesicle-mediated transport; protein localization to basolateral plasma membrane; and protein targeting to lysosome. Predicted to be located in early endosome. Predicted to be part of AP-4 adaptor complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasmic vesicle and trans-Golgi network. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hereditary spastic paraplegia 50. Orthologous to human AP4M1 (adaptor related protein complex 4 subunit mu 1).

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 rat Ap4m1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
