APMAP
Description
APMAP (AP2-associated protein with a mitochondrial targeting sequence) is a gene that encodes a protein involved in cell signaling and cellular processes. The protein interacts with the adaptor protein AP-2, which plays a role in endocytosis and vesicle trafficking. APMAP is also known to localize to mitochondria, suggesting a potential role in mitochondrial function and energy metabolism. While the exact function of APMAP remains under investigation, studies suggest its involvement in regulating cell growth, apoptosis, and other cellular processes.
Associated Diseases
- Cancer (various types): Studies have linked APMAP mutations and altered expression to cancer development and progression.
- Neurological Disorders: Some research indicates potential connections between APMAP and neurological conditions, though more investigation is needed.
Did you know?
APMAP is a relatively newly discovered gene, and its full range of functions and interactions are still being investigated.
