Entrez Summary: This gene encodes a leucine-rich repeat protein. The encoded protein is thought to play a role in melanocyte differentiation. Mutations in this gene have been associated with autosomal recessive oculocutaneous albinism 7 (OCA7). Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2015].
UniProt Summary: Required for melanocyte differentiation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23395477}.
