Official Full Name: adaptor related protein complex 2 subunit alpha 2
Also known as: HIP9; HYPJ; ADTAB; HIP-9; CLAPA2
The protein encoded by this gene is a subunit of the AP-2 adaptor protein complex, which is involved in linking lipid and protein membrane components with the clathrin lattice. This interaction supports the formation of clathrin-coated vesicles, and the encoded subunit aids in the process by binding polyphosphoinositide-containing lipids in the cell membrane.
