The HPS6 Polyclonal Antibody (PAC057288) is a valuable tool for researchers studying the HPS6 protein, a key player in the biogenesis of lysosome-related organelles. This antibody, produced in rabbits, is highly specific to human samples and is validated for use in Western blot and immunohistochemistry applications. By binding to the HPS6 protein, this antibody enables precise detection and analysis in a variety of cell types, making it a reliable choice for studies in cell biology and lysosome function.HPS6, also known as Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome 6 protein, plays a crucial role in the formation and function of lysosome-related organelles, which are essential for intracellular trafficking and cargo delivery.
Dysregulation of HPS6 has been linked to disorders such as Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome, a rare genetic condition characterized by abnormalities in lysosome-related organelles. By investigating the role of HPS6, researchers can gain insights into lysosome biology and potentially uncover new therapeutic targets for lysosomal storage disorders and other related diseases.
IHC image of PACO57288 diluted at 1:400 and staining in paraffin-embedded human kidney tissue performed on a Leica BondTM system. After dewaxing and hydration, antigen retrieval was mediated by high pressure in a citrate buffer (pH 6.0). Section was blocked with 10% normal goat serum 30min at RT. Then primary antibody (1% BSA) was incubated at 4°C overnight. The primary is detected by a biotinylated secondary antibody and visualized using an HRP conjugated SP system.
Immunofluorescence staining of Hela cells with PACO57288 at 1:133, counter-stained with DAPI. The cells were fixed in 4% formaldehyde, permeabilized using 0.2% Triton X-100 and blocked in 10% normal Goat Serum. The cells were then incubated with the antibody overnight at 4°C. The secondary antibody was Alexa Fluor 488-congugated AffiniPure Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG(H+L).

Background:
May regulate the synthesis and function of lysosomes and of highly specialized organelles, such as melanosomes and platelet dense granules. Acts as cargo adapter for the dynein-dynactin motor complex to mediate the transport of lysosomes from the cell periphery to the perinuclear region. Facilitates retrograde lysosomal trafficking by linking the motor complex to lysosomes, and perinuclear positioning of lysosomes is crucial for the delivery of endocytic cargos to lysosomes, for lysosome maturation and functioning.

UniProt Protein Function:
HPS6: May regulate the synthesis and function of lysosomes and of highly specialized organelles, such as melanosomes and platelet dense granules. Defects in HPS6 are the cause of Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome type 6 (HPS6). Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS) is a genetically heterogeneous, rare, autosomal recessive disorder characterized by oculocutaneous albinism, bleeding due to platelet storage pool deficiency, and lysosomal storage defects. This syndrome results from defects of diverse cytoplasmic organelles including melanosomes, platelet dense granules and lysosomes. Ceroid storage in the lungs is associated with pulmonary fibrosis, a common cause of premature death in individuals with HPS.Protein type: Unknown functionChromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 10q24.32Cellular Component: membrane; endoplasmic reticulum; early endosome membraneMolecular Function: GTP-dependent protein binding; Rab GTPase bindingBiological Process: organelle organization and biogenesis; melanocyte differentiation; blood coagulationDisease: Hermansky-pudlak Syndrome 6

NCBI Summary:
This intronless gene encodes a protein that may play a role in organelle biogenesis associated with melanosomes, platelet dense granules, and lysosomes. This protein interacts with Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome 5 protein. Mutations in this gene are associated with Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome type 6. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
