The AP4B1 Polyclonal Antibody (PAC042882) is a valuable tool for researchers studying AP4B1, a crucial component of the adaptor protein complex 4 (AP-4) involved in intracellular vesicle trafficking. This antibody, produced in rabbits, exhibits strong reactivity with human samples and is specifically validated for use in Western blot applications. By targeting the AP4B1 protein, researchers can easily detect and analyze its expression in a variety of cell types, making it ideal for studies in cell biology and molecular biology.
AP4B1 plays a vital role in the sorting and trafficking of cellular proteins, particularly in the biogenesis of lysosome-related organelles. Dysregulation of AP4B1 has been linked to various genetic disorders and neurodevelopmental conditions, making it an attractive target for research in these areas. Understanding the function of AP4B1 is essential for unraveling its role in cellular pathways and developing potential therapeutic interventions for related diseases.

Background:
Subunit of novel type of clathrin- or non-clathrin-associated protein coat involved in targeting proteins from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) to the endosomal-lysosomal system.
AP4B1: Subunit of novel type of clathrin- or non-clathrin- associated protein coat involved in targeting proteins from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) to the endosomal-lysosomal system. Defects in AP4B1 are the cause of cerebral palsy spastic quadriplegic type 5 (CPSQ5). CPSQ5 is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by neonatal hypotonia that progresses to hypertonia and spasticity, and severe mental retardation with poor or absent speech development. Belongs to the adaptor complexes large subunit family.Protein type: Adaptor/scaffoldChromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 1p13.2Cellular Component: trans-Golgi network; trans-Golgi network membraneMolecular Function: protein binding; transporter activityDisease: Spastic Paraplegia 47, Autosomal Recessive

NCBI Summary:
This gene encodes a subunit of a heterotetrameric adapter-like complex 4 that is involved in targeting proteins from the trans-Golgi network to the endosomal-lysosomal system. Mutations in this gene are associated with cerebral palsy spastic quadriplegic type 5 (CPSQ5) disorder. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]
