Summary: The protein encoded by this gene may play a role in intracellular vesicle trafficking. It interacts with Syntaxin 13 which mediates intracellular membrane fusion. Mutations in this gene cause symptoms associated with Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome-9. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A pseudogene related to this gene is located on the X chromosome. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015]

Results from a study on gene expression variability markers in early-stage human embryos shows that BLOC1S6 (PLDN) is a putative expression variability marker for the 3-day, 8-cell embryo stage.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

NR_132350.1 RNA Sequence

Status: REVIEWED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (3) includes an alternate internal exon, compared to variant 1. This variant is represented as non-coding because the use of the 5'-most expected translational start codon, as used in variant 1, renders the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
