Function:Component of the adaptor complexes which link 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. AP50 is a subunit of the plasma membrane adaptor. The complex binds polyphosphoinositide-containing lipids.,PTM:Phosphorylated.,similarity:Belongs to the adaptor complexes medium subunit family.,similarity:Contains 1 MHD (mu homology) domain.,subcellular location:Component of the coat surrounding the cytoplasmic face of coated vesicles in the plasma membrane.,subunit:Adaptor protein complex 2 (AP-2) is an heterotetramer composed of two large adaptins (alpha-type subunit AP2A1 or AP2A2 and beta-type subunit AP2B1), a medium adaptin (mu-type subunit AP2M1) and a small adaptin (sigma-type subunit AP2S1). Interacts with ATP6V1H and MEGF10.,
