Adaptin, alpha (ADTAA, CLAPA1, AP2-ALPHA)

Alpha Adaptin, also known as adaptor related protein complex, alpha 1 subunit. The alpha adaptins are exclusively found in the endocytic coated vesicles. Huntingtin-interacting protein 1 (HIP1) is enriched in membrane-containing cell fractions and has been implicated in vesicle trafficking. . Waelter et al. (2001) identified 3 HIP1-associated proteins, clathrin heavy chain (CLTC)and alpha-adaptin A and C. Coat proteins of approximately 100-kD (adaptins) are components of the adaptor complexes which link clathrin to receptors in coated vesicles. The alpha-adaptins separate into two bands on SDS gels.\n\nUniProt Number:\nHuman(O95782), Mouse(P17426), Rat(D3ZUY8)\n\nGene ID:\nAP2A1 \n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in Western Blot.\n\nRecommended Dilution:\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nStorage and Handling:\nStore at -20?C for one year. After reconstitution, store at 4?C for one month. Can also be aliquoted and stored frozen at -20?C for long term.\nAvoid repeated freezing and thawing. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
