This gene encodes a component of the trafficking protein particle complex, which tethers transport vesicles to the cis-Golgi membrane. Loss of expression of the related gene in mouse affects coat and eye pigmentation, suggesting that the encoded protein may be involved in melanosome biogenesis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2012],function:May play a role in vesicular transport during the biogenesis of melanosomes.,similarity:Belongs to the TRAPP small subunits family. BET3 subfamily.,subunit:Part of the multisubunit TRAPP (transport protein particle) complex. Heterodimer with TRAPPC3.,
