ID:AP4E1_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=AP-4 complex subunit epsilon-1; AltName: Full=AP-4 adapter complex subunit epsilon; AltName: Full=Adapter-related protein complex 4 subunit epsilon-1; AltName: Full=Epsilon subunit of AP-4; AltName: Full=Epsilon-adaptin; FUNCTION: Subunit of novel type of clathrin- or non-clathrin- associated protein coat involved in targeting proteins from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) to the endosomal-lysosomal system. SUBUNIT: Adapter-like complex 4 (AP-4) is a heterotetramer composed of two large adaptins (epsilon-type subunit AP4E1 and beta-type subunit AP4B1), a medium adaptin (mu-type subunit AP4M1) and a small adaptin (sigma-type AP4S1). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Golgi apparatus, trans-Golgi network. Note=Associated with the trans-Golgi network. Found in soma and dendritic shafts of neuronal cells. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Widely expressed. DISEASE: Defects in AP4E1 are the cause of cerebral palsy spastic quadriplegic type 4 (CPSQ4) [MIM:613744]. A non-progressive disorder of movement and/or posture resulting from defects in the developing central nervous system. Affected individuals manifest motor and posture impairments often associated with epilepsy and disturbances of cognition, behavior, sensation, and communication. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the adaptor complexes large subunit family.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
