| UniProt Protein Function: | AP3M2: Part of the AP-3 complex, an adaptor-related complex which is not clathrin-associated. The complex is associated with the Golgi region as well as more peripheral structures. It facilitates the budding of vesicles from the Golgi membrane and may be directly involved in trafficking to lysosomes. Belongs to the adaptor complexes medium subunit family.Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 8p11.2Cellular Component: Golgi apparatus; cytoplasmic vesicle membrane; clathrin adaptor complex; AP-type membrane coat adaptor complexBiological Process: intracellular protein transport; anterograde synaptic vesicle transport; anterograde axon cargo transport |

| NCBI Summary: | This gene encodes a subunit of the heterotetrameric adaptor-related protein comlex 3 (AP-3), which belongs to the adaptor complexes medium subunits family. The AP-3 complex plays a role in protein trafficking to lysosomes and specialized organelles. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified.
