| Function |
Component of the BLOC-1 complex, a complex that is required for normal biogenesis of lysosome-related organelles (LRO), such as platelet dense granules and melanosomes. In concert with the AP-3 complex, the BLOC-1 complex is required to target membrane protein cargos into vesicles assembled at cell bodies for delivery into neurites and nerve terminals. The BLOC-1 complex, in association with SNARE proteins, is also proposed to be involved in neurite extension. Plays a role in intracellular vesicle trafficking. May play a role in cell proliferation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15102850, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15381421, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17182842}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15381421}. Note=Localizes to the centrosomes in a microtubule-dependent manner.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are widely expressed. Expressed in various malignant tumor tissues (at protein level). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15381421}.
