Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.0.0)
Enables AP-3 adaptor complex binding activity. Involved in several processes, including neurotransmitter receptor transport, postsynaptic endosome to lysosome; otolith development; and synaptic vesicle transport. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including antigen processing and presentation, exogenous lipid antigen via MHC class Ib; positive regulation of NK T cell differentiation; and synaptic vesicle membrane organization. Located in endosome membrane and terminal bouton. Is active in several cellular components, including glutamatergic synapse; microvesicle; 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).
