BLOC1S4, Official Symbol BLOC1S4provided by HGNC Official Full Name biogenesis of lysosomal organelles complex 1 subunit 4provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:24206 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000186222 MIM:605695; AllianceGenome:HGNC:24206 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as CNO; BLOS4; BCAS4L Summary This intronless gene encodes a protein that may play a role in organelle biogenesis associated with melanosomes, platelet dense granules, and lysosomes. A similar protein in mouse is a component of a protein complex termed biogenesis of lysosome-related organelles complex 1 (BLOC-1), and is a model for Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome. The encoded protein may play a role in intracellular vesicular trafficking. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] Orthologs mouse all
