Planteome: Term Details for "AP-2 adaptor complex" (GO:0030122)

Accession: GO:0030122
Name: AP-2 adaptor complex
Ontology: cellular_component
Synonyms: HA2, HA2 clathrin adaptor
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: A heterotetrameric AP-type membrane coat adaptor complex that consists of alpha, beta2, mu2 and sigma2 subunits, and links clathrin to the membrane surface of a vesicle, and the cargo receptors during receptor/clathrin mediated endocytosis. Vesicles with AP-2-containing coats are normally found primarily near the plasma membrane, on endocytic vesicles. In at least humans, the AP-2 complex can be heterogeneric due to the existence of multiple subunit isoforms encoded by different alpha genes (alphaA and alphaC).
