Adaptin

Adaptin

Adaptin is a protein mediating the formation of clathrin-coated pits, through interaction with membrane-bound receptors. There are several types of adaptin, each related to a different group of such receptors.

Adaptin shows sequence similarity to some COPI subunits, thus they are thought to have a common evolutionary origin.
