Gene: AP3B1
Alternate names for this Gene: ADTB3|ADTB3A|HPS|HPS2|PE
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein that may play a role in organelle biogenesis associated with melanosomes, platelet dense granules, and lysosomes. The encoded protein is part of the heterotetrameric AP-3 protein complex which interacts with the scaffolding protein clathrin. Mutations in this gene are associated with Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome type 2. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 5
Location in Chromosome : 5q14.1
Description of this Gene: adaptor related protein complex 3 subunit beta 1
Type of Gene: protein-coding
