Background： Adaptor-related protein complex 2 (AP-2 complexes) functions during receptor-mediated endocytosis to trigger clathrin assembly, interact with membrane-bound receptors, and recruit encodytic accessory factors. This gene encodes a member of the SNF1 subfamily of Ser/Thr protein kinases. The protein interacts with and phosphorylates a subunit of the AP-2 complex, which promotes binding of AP-2 to sorting signals found in membrane-bound receptors and subsequent receptor endocytosis. Its kinase activity is stimulated by clathrin. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, but their biological validity has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],

Function：catalytic activity:ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.,enzyme regulation:Stimulated by clathrin.,function:Phosphorylates the AP2M1/mu2 subunit of the adaptor protein complex 2 (AP-2). May play a role in regulating aspects of clathrin-mediated endocytosis.,PTM:Autophosphorylated.,similarity:Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Ser/Thr protein kinase family.,similarity:Contains 1 protein kinase domain.,subcellular location:Active when found in clathrin-coated pits at the plasma membrane.,subunit:Interacts with alpha-adaptin and AP-2.,

Subcellular Location：Cell membrane ; Peripheral membrane protein . Membrane, clathrin-coated pit . Cell junction, synapse, presynapse . Active when found in clathrin-coated pits at the plasma membrane. In neuronal cells, enriched at presynaptic terminals. In non-neuronal cells, enriched at leading edge of migrating cells. .

Expression：Detected in brain, heart and liver. Isoform 1 is the predominant isoform in brain.
