Involved in the recruitment of clathrin to the Golgi network and endosomes to form clathrin coated vesicles. Plays a role in the trafficking of clathrin between the Golgi network and endosomes. Binds to membranes enriched in phosphatidylinositol-3,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(3,5)P2) and, in association with VPS27, is involved in protein sorting at the multivesicular body (MVB). Interacts with the clathrin adapter GGA2, and VPS27. Associates with the trans Golgi network (TGN) and endosomal clathrin coats.
