BLOC1S1-RDH5
Description
The BLOC1S1-RDH5 (-) is a ncRNA gene located on chromosome 12.
The BLOC1S1-RDH5 gene is a gene that is located on chromosome 15. It is involved in the formation of lysosomes, which are organelles that are responsible for breaking down waste products in cells. The gene also plays a role in the formation of melanosomes, which are organelles that produce melanin, the pigment that gives skin, hair, and eyes their color. Mutations in the BLOC1S1-RDH5 gene can cause a number of genetic disorders, including Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome, a rare disorder that affects the skin, hair, and blood. The gene is also involved in other biological processes, including the regulation of cell growth and development.
The BLOC1S1-RDH5 gene provides instructions for making a protein that is involved in the formation of lysosomes. Lysosomes are small sacs within cells that break down waste products and other cellular debris. This protein is also involved in the formation of melanosomes, which are organelles that produce melanin, the pigment that gives skin, hair, and eyes their color.
BLOC1S1-RDH5 is also known as -.
