Muted homolog, also known as MuTED, is involved in the development of lysosome related organelles, such as melanosomes and platelet dense granules. MuTED interacts with pallidin, dystrobrevin binding protein 1 and CNO/cappuccino. It is part of the biogenesis of lysosome related organelles complex 1 (BLOC1). Also, MuTED is ubiquitously expressed with higher levels in brain, bone marrow, kidney, and liver and lower levels in skeletal muscle. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa1-187 of human MUTED, fused to His-tag at N-terminal expressed in E. coli.
