    text
  • localizes to the cytoplasmic face of the trans-Golgi network (TGN)
  • basic FUNCTION
  • involved in the recognition and the sorting of cargo proteins with tyrosin-based motifs from trans-Golgi network to the endosomal-lysosomal system
  • crucial role of AP4-mediated trafficking in brain development and functioning
  • CELLULAR PROCESS protein, post translation, targeting
