aps-2 encodes an adaptin: specifically, it encodes an ortholog of the sigma2 subunit of adaptor protein complex 2 (AP2), which mediates endocytosis from the plasma membrane; APS-2 is required for embryonic and larval development and for normal body morphogenesis, but is not required for endocytosis of yolk protein in developing oocytes; APS-2 is expressed in nearly all cells during embryogenesis, but during larval and adult stages, expression is confined to neurons and some hypodermal cells, including vulval hypodermal cells during the fourth larval stage.
