(1) Process: pigmentation, vesicle-mediated transport.
(2) Protein interaction in BLOC-1.
Cytoplasmic.
Interacts with BLOS1 and several other BLOC-1 subunits (Yang, et al). A component of yeast BLOC-1, which is both a Vps21 effector and an adapter for its GAP Msb3. BLOC-1 and Msb3 interacted in vivo(Peter, et al).
Involved in the development of lysosome-related organelles, such as melanosomes and platelet-dense granules.
Yang, et al performed mutation screening of the human KXD1 gene in those HPS patients with no mutations with known HPS genes by amplification of genomic DNAs and sequencing. No defects were observed.
SNPs deposited in dbSNP.

(Animal Models)
Mutation in the Kxd1 gene causes a mild form of Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (Yang, et al).
