HPS3 HPS3 biogenesis of lysosomal organelles complex 2 subunit 1

Gene ID: 84343, updated on 3-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: SUTAL; BLOC2S1

Summary

This gene encodes a protein containing a potential clathrin-binding motif, consensus dileucine signals, and tyrosine-based sorting signals for targeting to vesicles of lysosomal lineage. The encoded protein may play a role in organelle biogenesis associated with melanosomes, platelet dense granules, and lysosomes. Mutations in this gene are associated with Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome type 3. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2015]
