Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome 1 protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HPS1 gene.This gene encodes a protein that may play a role in organelle biogenesis associated with melanosomes platelet dense granules and lysosomes. The encoded protein is a component of three different protein complexes termed biogenesis of lysosome-related organelles complex (BLOC)-3 BLOC4 and BLOC5. Mutations in this gene are associated with Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome type 1.
