Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.0.0)
Enables AP-3 adaptor complex binding activity; actin filament binding activity; and molecular adaptor activity. Involved in several processes, including alpha-amino acid metabolic process; axo-dendritic transport; and vesicle organization. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including alpha-amino acid metabolic process; limbic system development; and nucleobase-containing small molecule metabolic process. Part of BLOC-1 complex and filamentous actin. Is active in several cellular components, including cytoplasmic vesicle; cytoskeleton; and focal adhesion. Is expressed in nervous system. Used to study Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome 9; platelet storage pool deficiency; and pulmonary emphysema. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome 9. Orthologous to human BLOC1S6 (biogenesis of lysosomal organelles complex 1 subunit 6).
