BLOC1S4 biogenesis of lysosomal organelles complex 1 subunit 4

Gene ID: 55330, updated on 17-Jun-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CNO; BLOS4; BCAS4L

Summary

This intronless gene encodes a protein that may play a role in organelle biogenesis associated with melanosomes, platelet dense granules, and lysosomes. A similar protein in mouse is a component of a protein complex termed biogenesis of lysosome-related organelles complex 1 (BLOC-1), and is a model for Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome. The encoded protein may play a role in intracellular vesicular trafficking. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
