Protein found in humans
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]
