Facts about AP-3 complex subunit beta-2.
AP-3 appears to be involved in the sorting of a subset of transmembrane proteins targeted to lysosomes and lysosome-related organelles. In concert with the BLOC-1 complex, AP-3 is needed to target cargos into vesicles assembled at cell bodies for delivery into neurites and nerve terminals.

Expression is specific to nervous system. Expressed in nerve terminal and cell body, and is associated with nerve-terminal vesicles. Expression seen in Purkinje cells, cortical neurons, neuroectodermal tumors and graded in cerebral cortex (deeper layers exhibit stronger expression).
Cytoplasmic vesicle, clathrin-coated vesicle membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Golgi apparatus. Component of the coat surrounding the cytoplasmic face of coated vesicles located at the Golgi complex.
