| 1315452 | SLC45A2 | solute carrier family 45 member 2 | This gene encodes a transporter protein that mediates melanin synthesis. The protein is expressed in a high percentage of melanoma cell lines. Mutations in this gene are a cause of oculocutaneous albinism type 4, and polymorphisms in this gene are associated with variations in skin and hair color. M ultiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

| 1315453 | Slc45a2 | solute carrier family 45, member 2 | Enables D-glucose:proton symporter activity and sucrose:proton symporter activity. Involved in developmental pigmentation; lysosomal lumen pH elevation; and melanin biosynthetic process from tyrosine. Acts upstream of or within sucrose transport. Predicted to be located in melanosome membrane. Predi cted to be active in membrane. Is expressed in brain; embryo ectoderm; eye; mesenchyme derived from neural crest; and skin. Used to study oculocutaneous albinism. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in oculocutaneous albinism type IV and pigmentation disease. Orthologous to human SLC45A2 (solute carrier family 45 member 2).
