Primary Identifier | MGI:107734 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 11776 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in anterograde synaptic vesicle transport; neurotransmitter receptor transport, postsynaptic endosome to lysosome; and synaptic vesicle budding from endosome. Acts upstream of with a positive effect on positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including antigen processing and presentation, exogenous lipid antigen via MHC class Ib; establishment of protein localization; and positive regulation of NK T cell differentiation. Located in endosome membrane and terminal bouton. Is active in glutamatergic synapse; postsynapse; and presynaptic endosome. Is expressed in central nervous system and retina. Used to study Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome 1; Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome 2; and platelet storage pool deficiency. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome. Orthologous to human AP3D1 (adaptor related protein complex 3 subunit delta 1). PHENOTYPE: Mutant mice show coat and eye color dilution, platelet defects, lysosomal abnormalities, inner ear degeneration and neurological defects and model Hermansky-Pudlak storage pool deficiency syndrome.
