General annotation (Comments)

Function

Cation exchanger involved in pigmentation, possibly by participating in ion transport in melanosomes. Probably transports 1 Ca2+ and 1 K+ in exchange for 4 Na+. Ref.4

Subcellular location

Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein By similarity. Melanosome. Note: Enriched in late-stage melanosomes. Ref.5

Polymorphism

Genetic variants in SLC24A5 define the skin/hair/eye pigmentation variation locus 4 (SHEP4) [MIM:113750]. Hair, eye and skin pigmentation are among the most visible examples of human phenotypic variation, with a broad normal range that is subject to substantial geographic stratification. In the case of skin, individuals tend to have lighter pigmentation with increasing distance from the equator. By contrast, the majority of variation in human eye and hair color is found among individuals of European ancestry, with most other human populations fixed for brown eyes and black hair.

The Ala-111 allele predominates (93 to 100%) in African and East Asian populations. In contrast, the Thr-111 allele is nearly fixed (98.7 to 100%) in European populations, is associated with a substantial reduction in regional heterozygosity, and correlates with lighter skin pigmentation in admixed populations.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the sodium/potassium/calcium exchanger family. SLC24A subfamily.
