Summary: Predicted to enable phosphatidylinositol binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including melanocyte differentiation; melanosome transport; and minus-end-directed organelle transport along microtubule. Predicted to act upstream of or within developmental pigmentation. Predicted to be located in late endosome membrane and melanosome membrane. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in melanosome. Orthologous to human MREG (melanoregulin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
