Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within pigmentation; platelet formation; and regulation of developmental pigmentation. Located in autophagosome and lysosome. Part of CORVET complex. Is expressed in ganglia. Used to study Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome. Orthologous to human VPS33A (VPS33A core subunit of CORVET and HOPS complexes). PHENOTYPE: Mutations in this gene produce hypopigmentation, an extended bleeeding time and abnormal kidney function.
