Summary
Enables small GTPase binding activity. Acts upstream of or within blood coagulation; melanocyte differentiation; and organelle organization. Located in cytoplasmic vesicle. Is expressed in midgut and midgut loop. Used to study Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome 4 and platelet storage pool deficiency. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome; Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome 4; and schizophrenia. Orthologous to human HPS4 (HPS4 biogenesis of lysosomal organelles complex 3 subunit 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
