Bloc1s6 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable actin filament binding activity; molecular adaptor activity; and protein homodimerization 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 establishment of protein localization; glutamine family amino acid metabolic process; and limbic system development. Predicted to be located in endosome. Predicted to be part of BLOC-1 complex; SNARE complex; and filamentous actin. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including focal adhesion; microvesicle; and stress fiber. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome 9. Orthologous to human BLOC1S6 (biogenesis of lysosomal organelles complex 1 subunit 6). [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 Bloc1s6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
