Protein
AP-1 complex subunit sigma-1
Organism
Schizosaccharomyces pombe (strain 972 / ATCC 24843)
Function
Component of the AP-1 complex which links clathrin to receptors in coated vesicles. Clathrin-associated protein complexes are believed to interact with the cytoplasmic tails of membrane proteins, leading to their selection and concentration.
Similarity
Belongs to the adaptor complexes small subunit family.
