Bloc1s5 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to be involved in several processes, including anterograde synaptic vesicle transport; endosome to melanosome transport; and melanosome transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within developmental pigmentation; otolith morphogenesis; and vesicle-mediated transport. Predicted to be located in transport vesicle. Predicted to be part of BLOC-1 complex. Predicted to be active in microvesicle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome. Orthologous to human BLOC1S5 (biogenesis of lysosomal organelles complex 1 subunit 5). [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 rat Bloc1s5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
