AP5Z1 explained

AP-5 complex subunit zeta (AP5Z1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the AP5Z1 gene.[1]

Function

The protein encoded by this gene is one of two large subunits of the AP5 adaptor complex. Damaging variants in this gene are associated with SPG48, a type of hereditary spastic paraplegia.[2] [3]
