Gene Summary
like-AP180 (lap) encodes a cytosolic protein that acts as a clathrin adaptor to promote clathrin-coated vesicle formation and restrict coated vesicle size. At synapses it regulates synaptic vesicle size as well as the efficacy of synaptic vesicle protein retrieval. [Date last reviewed: 2019-03-14] (FlyBase Gene Snapshot)

Gene Snapshot
like-AP180 (lap) encodes a cytosolic protein that acts as a clathrin adaptor to promote clathrin-coated vesicle formation and restrict coated vesicle size. At synapses it regulates synaptic vesicle size as well as the efficacy of synaptic vesicle protein retrieval. [Date last reviewed: 2019-03-14]
Protein Function (UniProtKB)
Assembly protein recruiting clathrin and adaptor protein complex 2 (AP2) to cell membranes at sites of coated-pit formation and clathrin-vesicle assembly. May be required to determine the amount of membrane to be recycled, possibly by regulating the size of the clathrin cage. Involved in AP2-dependent clathrin-mediated endocytosis at the neuromuscular junction.

Model Confidence:
  • Very high (pLDDT > 90)
  • Confident (90 > pLDDT > 70)
  • Low (70 > pLDDT > 50)
  • Very low (pLDDT < 50)

AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.
