AP3B2

Chr 15AR

adaptor related protein complex 3 subunit beta 2

The AP3B2 protein is the beta subunit of the neuron-specific adaptor protein complex 3 (AP-3), which mediates protein sorting in the late-Golgi/trans-Golgi network and targeting of cargos to neurites and nerve terminals. Biallelic mutations cause developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 48, an early-onset seizure disorder with autosomal recessive inheritance. The gene shows high constraint against loss-of-function variants (LOEUF 0.342), indicating that such variants are likely pathogenic.
