OverviewNCBI Gene

Adaptor protein complex 1 is found at the cytoplasmic face of coated vesicles located at the Golgi complex, where it mediates both the recruitment of clathrin to the membrane and the recognition of sorting signals within the cytosolic tails of transmembrane receptors. This complex is a heterotetramer composed of two large, one medium, and one small adaptin subunit. The protein encoded by this gene serves as the small subunit of this complex and is a member of the adaptin protein family. Transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against AP1S2 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads AP1S2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against AP1S2 could matter depends on whether native AP1S2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

AP1S2 is annotated as predominantly intracellular. Intracellular proteins are common autoantibody markers, becoming visible to the immune system after cell injury or altered processing, but are usually markers of disease rather than direct drivers.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label AP1S2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
