Provided below are ELISA kits targeting biogenesis of lysosomal organelles complex 1 subunit 3, a human protein encoded by BLOC1S3. This protein is 202 amino acids long, with a mass of 21.3 kDa, and is a member of the BLOC1S3 family. This is reported to be a cytoplasmic protein. There is a noted implication in Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome 8. Other alias names for this protein include: biogenesis of lysosome-related organelles complex 1 subunit 3, BLOC-1 subunit 3, biogenesis of lysosome-related organelles complex-1 subunit 3, reduced pigmentation mouse homolog of, HPS8, and RP.
