unc-101 encodes an adaptin orthologous to the mu1-I subunit of adaptor protein complex 1 (AP-1) that is involved in motility, egg-laying, negative regulation of LET-23 / EGF-receptor signalling, and localization of the neuronal receptors ODR-10 and GLR-1; it is broadly expressed.
Predicted to enable clathrin adaptor activity. Involved in several processes, including cilium assembly; nematode larval development; and protein localization. Predicted to be located in clathrin-coated vesicle. Predicted to be part of clathrin adaptor complex. Expressed in several structures, including germ line; head; and tail. Is an ortholog of human AP1M1 (adaptor related protein complex 1 subunit mu 1).
