HPS1 HPS1 biogenesis of lysosomal organelles complex 3 subunit 1

Gene ID: 3257, updated on 3-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: HPS; BLOC3S1

Summary

This gene encodes a protein that may play a role in organelle biogenesis associated with melanosomes, platelet dense granules, and lysosomes. The encoded protein is a component of three different protein complexes termed biogenesis of lysosome-related organelles complex (BLOC)-3, BLOC4, and BLOC5. Mutations in this gene are associated with Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome type 1. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A pseudogene related to this gene is located on chromosome 22. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015]
