Function | Component of the adaptor protein complex 4 (AP-4). Adaptor protein complexes are vesicle coat components involved both in vesicle formation and cargo selection. They control the vesicular transport of proteins in different trafficking pathways (PubMed:10436028, PubMed:11139587, PubMed:10066790, PubMed:11802162, PubMed:20230749). AP-4 forms a non clathrin-associated coat on vesicles departing the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and may be involved in the targeting of proteins from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) to the endosomal-lysosomal system (PubMed:11139587, PubMed:20230749). It is also involved in protein sorting to the basolateral membrane in epithelial cells and the proper asymmetric localization of somatodendritic proteins in neurons (By similarity). Within AP-4, the mu-type subunit AP4M1 is directly involved in the recognition and binding of tyrosine-based sorting signals found in the cytoplasmic part of cargos (PubMed:10436028, PubMed:11139587, PubMed:26544806, PubMed:20230749). The adaptor protein complex 4 (AP-4) may also recognize other types of sorting signal (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Golgi apparatus, trans-Golgi network membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Early endosome. Note=Found in soma and dendritic shafts of neuronal cells. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q2PWT8} |
Tissue Location | Ubiquitous. Highly expressed in testis and lowly expressed in brain and lung. |

Background
This gene encodes a subunit of the heterotetrameric AP-4complex. The encoded protein belongs to the adaptor complexesmedium subunits family. This AP-4 complex is involved in therecognition and sorting of cargo proteins with tyrosine-basedmotifs from the trans-golgi network to the endosomal-lysosomalsystem.
