About AP3M1

Cytogenetic location: 10q22.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 10:74,120,255-74,150,828 (from NCBI)

This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 207 orthologues and 7 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in placenta (RPKM 10.7), thyroid (RPKM 10.7) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is the medium subunit of AP-3, which is an adaptor-related protein complex associated with the Golgi region as well as more peripheral intracellular structures. AP-3 facilitates the budding of vesicles from the Golgi membrane, and it may directly function in protein sorting to the endosomal/lysosomal system. AP-3 is a heterotetrameric protein complex composed of two large subunits (delta and beta3), a medium subunit (mu3), and a small subunit (sigma 3). Mutations in one of the large subunits of AP-3 have been associated with the Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome, a genetic disorder characterized by defective lysosome-related organelles. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]
