Hermansky–Pudlak syndrome 6 (HPS6), also known as ruby-eye protein homolog (Ru), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HPS6 gene .[5]
Function [ ] This intronless gene encodes a protein that may play a role in organelle biogenesis associated with melanosomes , platelet dense granules, and lysosomes .[6] HPS3 and HPS5 form a stable protein complex named Biogenesis of Lysosome-related Organelles Complex-2 (BLOC-2).[7]
Clinical significance [ ] Mutations in this gene are associated with Hermansky–Pudlak syndrome type 6 characterized by albinism and prolonged bleeding.[5] [8]
