General annotation (Comments)
| Function | Melanocyte differentiation antigen. May transport substances required for melanin biosynthesis By similarity. |
| Subcellular location | |
| Tissue specificity | Expressed in most melanoma cell lines and melanocytes. |
| Polymorphism | Genetic variants in SLC45A2 define the skin/hair/eye pigmentation variation locus 5 (SHEP5) [MIM:227240]. 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. |
| Involvement in disease | Albinism oculocutaneous 4 (OCA4) [MIM:606574]: A disorder of pigmentation characterized by reduced biosynthesis of melanin in the skin, hair and eyes. Patients show reduced or lacking pigmentation associated with classic albinism ocular abnormalities, including decreased visual acuity, macular hypoplasia, optic dysplasia, atypical choroidal vessels, and nystagmus. |
| Sequence similarities | Belongs to the glycoside-pentoside-hexuronide (GPH) cation symporter transporter (TC 2.A.2) family. [View classification] |
| Sequence caution | The sequence AAH03597.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Frameshift at position 188. |
