Bloc1s2 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable gamma-tubulin binding activity. Involved in anterograde synaptic vesicle transport. Located in cytosol. Part of BLOC-1 complex. Is expressed in several structures, including aorta-gonad-mesonephros; brain; genitourinary system; gut; and spleen. Orthologous to human BLOC1S2 (biogenesis of lysosomal organelles complex 1 subunit 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Bloc1s2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
