AP2B1 is a component of the adaptor protein complex 2 (AP-2). AP complexes are cytosolic heterotetramers that mediate the sorting of membrane proteins in the secretory and endocytic pathways. AP complexes are involved in the formation of clathrin-coated vesicles (CCVs) by recruiting the scaffold protein, clathrin. AP complexes also play a pivotal role in the cargo selection by recognizing the sorting signals within the cytoplasmic tail of integral membrane proteins. AP-2 works on the plasma membrane to internalize cargo in clathrin-mediated endocytosis.
