Your Input: | |||||
GPR143 | Uncharacterized protein. (391 aa) | ||||
SLC45A2 | Uncharacterized protein. (543 aa) | ||||
GPNMB | Glycoprotein nmb. (559 aa) | ||||
SOX10 | Transcription factor SOX-10; Transcription factor that plays a central role in developing and mature glia. Specifically activates expression of myelin genes, during oligodendrocyte (OL) maturation, thereby playing a central role in oligodendrocyte maturation and CNS myelination. (461 aa) | ||||
OCA2 | OCA2 melanosomal transmembrane protein. (726 aa) | ||||
TYR | Tyrosinase; This is a copper-containing oxidase that functions in the formation of pigments such as melanins and other polyphenolic compounds. Catalyzes the initial and rate limiting step in the cascade of reactions leading to melanin production from tyrosine. In addition to hydroxylating tyrosine to DOPA (3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine), also catalyzes the oxidation of DOPA to DOPA-quinone, and possibly the oxidation of DHI (5,6-dihydroxyindole) to indole-5,6 quinone. (537 aa) | ||||
TYRP1 | 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid oxidase; Plays a role in melanin biosynthesis. Catalyzes the oxidation of 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (DHICA) into indole-5,6- quinone-2-carboxylic acid. May regulate or influence the type of melanin synthesized. Also to a lower extent, capable of hydroxylating tyrosine and producing melanin. (536 aa) | ||||
KRT75 | IF rod domain-containing protein; Belongs to the intermediate filament family. (536 aa) | ||||
PMEL | Melanocyte protein PMEL; Might be required for polymerization of melanin onto the core structure of melanosomes with enzymic function of tyrosinase; Belongs to the PMEL/NMB family. (740 aa) |
