Bloc1s4 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Involved in anterograde synaptic vesicle transport. Acts upstream of or within melanosome organization; neuromuscular process controlling balance; and platelet aggregation. Located in cytoplasm. Part of BLOC-1 complex. Used to study Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome. Orthologous to human BLOC1S4 (biogenesis of lysosomal organelles complex 1 subunit 4).

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 Bloc1s4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
