HPS4 - HPS4 biogenesis of lysosomal organelles complex 3 subunit 2 Gene
Also Known as LE; BLOC3S2
Species: Homo sapiens
About HPS4
This gene has 49 transcripts (splice variants), 204 orthologues and is associated with 4 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in testis (RPKM 8.6), skin (RPKM 8.1) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a protein component of biogenesis of lysosome-related organelles complexes (BLOC). BLOC complexes are important for the formation of endosomal-lysosomal organelles such as melanosomes and platelet dense granules. Mutations in this gene result in subtype 4 of Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome, a form of albinism. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2012]
