Function | Could be a melanogenic enzyme. |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein Melanosome membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Early endosome membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Note=Identified by mass spectrometry in melanosome fractions from stage I to stage IV |
Tissue Location | Widely expressed, but very low expression, if any, in the brain (PubMed:12609765, PubMed:16609006). Expressed in the epidermis with higher levels in melanocytes compared with keratinocytes and Langerhans cells (at protein level) (PubMed:29336782). Expressed in peripheral blood, but not bone marrow mononuclear cells (PubMed:12609765). Expressed in tissue macrophages, including liver Kuppfer cells and lung alveolar macrophages, in podocytes and in some cells of the ciliary body of the eye (at protein level) (PubMed:16489096). May be overexpressed in various cancers, including melanoma and glioblastoma multiforme (PubMed:16489096, PubMed:16609006, PubMed:7814155). |
