Abstract excerpt
Clathrin-associated adaptor protein (AP) complexes play a key role in the transport of proteins, by regulating the formation of transport vesicles as well as cargo selection, between organelles of the post-Golgi network, namely, the trans-Golgi network (TGN), endosomes, lysosomes and the plasma membrane. Evidence has been accumulating for the physiological importance of AP complexes. Deficiency in AP-1A or AP-2...
