Glycine data from LIS
Description | This family would appear to be the second of the two larger subunits of the fifth Adaptor-Protein complex, AP-5. Adaptor protein (AP) complexes facilitate the trafficking of cargo from one membrane compartment of the cell to another by recruiting other proteins to particular types of vesicles. AP-5 is involved in trafficking proteins from endosomes towards other membranous compartments [2]. There are genetic links between AP-5 and hereditary spastic paraplegia, a group of human genetic disorders characterised by progressive spasticity in the lower limbs [1]. |
