Anti-HPS6 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein HPS6 biogenesis of lysosomal organelles complex 2 subunit 3. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 775 amino acid residues and a mass of 83 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the lysosomes and cytoplasm. It is ubiquitously expressed across many tissue types. HPS6 is believed to regulate the synthesis and function of lysosomes and of highly specialized organelles, such as melanosomes and platelet dense granules. The HPS6 gene has been associated with the disease, Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome. Synonyms for this target antigen include Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome-6 protein (HPS6), ruby-eye protein homolog, and BLOC-2 complex member HPS6. HPS6 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of HPS6 antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
