ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to the identification of novel nucleic acid molecules and proteins encoded by such nucleic acid molecules or degenerate variants thereof, that participate in the differentiation and/or function of intracellular vesicles. The nucleic acid molecules of the present invention represent the genes corresponding to the mammalian bg gene, a gene that, when mutated, is responsible for the human Chediak-Higashi syndrome.
