| 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 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. |
| Subcellular Location | Cell membrane. Membrane, coated pit {ECO:0000250}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000250}; Cytoplasmic side {ECO:0000250}. Note=Component of the coat surrounding the cytoplasmic face of coated vesicles in the plasma membrane. {ECO:0000250}. |
