Chromosome | 19 | NCBI Gene Number | 20170 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable GTP-dependent protein binding activity and small GTPase binding activity. Involved in lysosome localization. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including blood coagulation; lipid homeostasis; and protein secretion. Predicted to be located in early endosome. Predicted to be part of BLOC-2 complex. Predicted to be active in lysosomal membrane. Used to study Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome 6. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome and Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome 6. Orthologous to human HPS6 (HPS6 biogenesis of lysosomal organelles complex 2 subunit 3). PHENOTYPE: Mutations in this gene result in hypopigmented hair and eyes, and increased clotting time due to a platelet dense granule defect. [provided by MGI curators] |
