AP1G1 (Adaptor Related Protein Complex 1 Subunit Gamma 1) encodes the gamma-1 subunit of the AP-1 complex, a key component of clathrin-coated vesicles involved in protein trafficking between the Golgi apparatus, endosomes, and the plasma membrane.
AP1G1 encodes the gamma-1 subunit of the AP-1 complex, which is involved in clathrin-mediated endocytosis and intracellular protein trafficking.
AP1G1 is ubiquitously expressed with high levels in:
