Bloc1s3 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable protein transmembrane transporter activity. 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 several processes, including positive regulation of natural killer cell activation; secretion of lysosomal enzymes; and vesicle organization. Predicted to be located in cytosol and transport vesicle. Predicted to be part of BLOC-1 complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome 8. Orthologous to human BLOC1S3 (biogenesis of lysosomal organelles complex 1 subunit 3). [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 Bloc1s3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
