| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Involved in megakaryocyte development; platelet alpha granule organization; and regulation of platelet aggregation. Acts upstream of or within collagen fibril organization; collagen metabolic process; and intracellular protein transport. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus; cytoplasmic vesicle; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be part of CORVET complex. Predicted to be active in lysosome and synaptic vesicle. Is expressed in dorsal root ganglion; facial ganglion; glossopharyngeal ganglion; trigeminal ganglion; and vestibulo-cochlear ganglion. Used to study ARC syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in arthrogryposis multiplex congenita; arthrogryposis, renal dysfunction, and cholestasis 1; cholestasis; kidney disease; and progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis. Orthologous to human VPS33B (VPS33B late endosome and lysosome associated). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a conditional allele activated by an inducible cre exhibit dry scaly skin, hair loss, thrombocytosis, abnormal alpha-granule development, extramedullary hematopoiesis, abnormal platelets and megakaryocytes, and defects in tail tendon collagen I structure.
