Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.0.0)
Enables AP-3 adaptor complex binding activity. Involved in several processes, including anterograde synaptic vesicle transport; otolith development; and swimming behavior. Acts upstream of or within developmental pigmentation; otolith morphogenesis; and vesicle-mediated transport. Part of BLOC-1 complex. Is active in microvesicle. Used to study Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome and platelet storage pool deficiency. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome. Orthologous to human BLOC1S5 (biogenesis of lysosomal organelles complex 1 subunit 5).
