Involved in anterograde synaptic vesicle transport. Acts upstream of or within developmental pigmentation; otolith morphogenesis; and vesicle-mediated transport. Part of BLOC-1 complex. Is active in microvesicle. Used to study Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome; Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome 1; and platelet storage pool deficiency. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome. Orthologous to human BLOC1S5 (biogenesis of lysosomal organelles complex 1 subunit 5).
