Involved in the proper sorting of TYRP1. Involved in peripheral melanosomal distribution of TYRP1 in melanocytes; the function, which probably is implicating vesicle-trafficking, includes cooperation with ANKRD27 and VAMP7 (By similarity). Plays a role in the maturation of phagosomes that engulf pathogens, such as S.aureus and M.tuberculosis (PubMed:21255211). Plays an important role in the control of melanin production and melanosome biogenesis (PubMed:23084991). In concert with RAB32, regulates the proper trafficking of melanogenic enzymes TYR, TYRP1 and DCT/TYRP2 to melanosomes in melanocytes (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8QZZ8, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21255211, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23084991}. |Arf| |Miro| |Gtr1 RagA| |Ras| |BLOC-2 complex binding| |AP-3 adaptor complex binding| |positive regulation of phosphatidylcholine biosynthetic process| |regulation of phosphatidylcholine biosynthetic process| |early endosome lumen| |AP-1 adaptor complex binding| |melanosome assembly| |platelet dense granule organization| |AP-2 adaptor complex binding| |endosome to pigment granule transport| |endosome to melanosome transport| |pigment granule maturation| |cellular pigment accumulation| |pigment accumulation| |positive regulation of phospholipid biosynthetic process| |mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membrane| |melanosome membrane| |regulation of phospholipid biosynthetic process| |GTP-dependent protein binding| |melanosome organization| |pigment granule organization| |phagosome acidification| |pigment cell differentiation| |secretory granule organization| |developmental pigmentation| |phagosome maturation| |intracellular pH reduction| |cellular pigmentation| |positive regulation of phospholipid metabolic process| |pH reduction| |phagocytic vesicle| |Rab protein signal transduction| |phagocytic vesicle membrane| |positive regulation of lipid biosynthetic process| |regulation of phospholipid metabolic process| |regulation of intracellular pH| |regulation of cellular pH| |pigmentation| |regulation of pH| |melanosome| |cellular monovalent inorganic cation homeostasis| |monovalent inorganic cation homeostasis| |positive regulation of lipid metabolic process| |trans-Golgi network| |regulation of lipid biosynthetic process| |developmental maturation| |Ras protein signal transduction| |lysosome| |early endosome| |vesicle organization| |small GTPase mediated signal transduction| |GTPase activity| |post-translational protein modification| |GTP binding| |regulation of lipid metabolic process| |endomembrane system organization| |mitochondrion organization| |protein localization to membrane| |cellular cation homeostasis| |cellular ion homeostasis| |cation homeostasis| |inorganic ion homeostasis| |cellular chemical homeostasis| |organelle assembly| |ion homeostasis| |cellular homeostasis| |intracellular protein transport| |endoplasmic reticulum| |chemical homeostasis| |positive regulation of phosphate metabolic process| |positive regulation of phosphorus metabolic process| |mitochondrion| |protein transport| |intracellular transport| |peptide transport| |amide transport| |cellular protein localization| |cellular macromolecule localization| |establishment of protein localization| |homeostatic process| |intracellular signal transduction| |regulation of phosphate metabolic process| |regulation of phosphorus metabolic process| |establishment of localization in cell| |nitrogen compound transport| |vesicle-mediated transport| |positive regulation of cellular biosynthetic process| |membrane| |positive regulation of biosynthetic process| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
