Ap4b1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable clathrin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in protein localization to somatodendritic compartment; protein targeting; and vesicle-mediated transport. Predicted to be located in cytoplasmic side of trans-Golgi network transport vesicle membrane; cytosol; and trans-Golgi network. Predicted to be part of AP-4 adaptor complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hereditary spastic paraplegia 47. Orthologous to human AP4B1 (adaptor related protein complex 4 subunit beta 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 Ap4b1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
