Summary: Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of melanin biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within melanin biosynthetic process. Located in melanosome. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; mesenchyme derived from neural crest; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human PMEL (premelanosome protein). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
