Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 71770 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable clathrin binding activity. Involved in clathrin-dependent endocytosis and postsynaptic neurotransmitter receptor internalization. Acts upstream of or within circulatory system development and kidney development. Part of AP-2 adaptor complex. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human AP2B1 (adaptor related protein complex 2 subunit beta 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a transgenic gene disruption exhibit cleft palate. [provided by MGI curators] |
