Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable GTP-dependent protein binding activity and protein phosphatase binding activity. Involved in anterograde synaptic vesicle transport. Acts upstream of with a positive effect on positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within with a negative effect on mRNA transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including establishment of protein localization to organelle; hemopoiesis; and vesicle organization. Is active in microvesicle. Used to study Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome 2 and platelet storage pool deficiency. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome; Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome 2; interstitial lung disease; neutropenia; and pulmonary fibrosis. Orthologous to human AP3B1 (adaptor related protein complex 3 subunit beta 1).
