We have cloned the cDNA for the human homolog of the rat AP17 gene, a small chain of the clathrin-associated protein complex AP-2. The cDNA is highly conserved between rat and human. Human AP17, gene symbol CLAPS2 (clathrin-associated/assembly/adaptor protein, small 3, 17 kDa), was assigned to chromosome region 19q13.2→q13.3.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
