Facts about AP-2 complex subunit beta.
Adaptor protein complexes are vesicle coat components and seem to be involved in cargo selection and vesicle formation. AP-2 is involved in clathrin-dependent endocytosis in which cargo proteins are integrated into vesicles surrounded by clathrin (clathrin- coated vesicles, CCVs) which are destined for fusion with the early endosome.

Cell membrane. Membrane, coated pit; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. AP-2 appears to be excluded from internalizing CCVs and to disengage from sites of endocytosis seconds before internalization of the nascent CCV.

The cellular protein AP2B1 plays a role in the endocytosis ADAM10 within hippocampal neurons. The beta subunit, which is part of the protein, acts as a scaffolding mechanism for accessory proteins. It recognizes CLASP motif and binds clathrin's heavy chains to promote lattice building. When clathrin attaches on the cell membrane, it replaces CLASPs from Apolib1. This is then positioned to allow for coat assembly.
AP2B1 has over 6,750 functions that can be grouped into 8 categories. These associations include molecular profile and organism, chemical, functional term, functional term, phenotypes, structural features, cell line, gene, protein, cell type, gene, or chemical.

The circNF1-419 protein was also identified as a gene for neurodegenerative disorders. These findings provide new insights into the regulation this protein, which is also linked with the AP2B1 genome. This gene binds Dynamin-1 to AP2B1. It regulates multiple signaling pathways and requires further investigation.
The biofluid marker is a biofluid marker that represents different pathways upstream or downstream of a-synuclein. This could be used to stratify patients in pathway-specific trials. This biofluid indicator showed a significantly decreased CSF protein profile for both PD, and DLB. The difference was accentuated in both entities by the presence of the GBA variation. These data highlight the pathomechanistic continuum between DLB and PD, which is accelerated by the presence of GBA variants.
