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. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]. * **<color #00a2e8>UniProt Summary</color>**: Melanocyte differentiation antigen. May transport substances required for melanin biosynthesis (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. <button type='primary' size='sm' modal='Pfam_Domains'>Pfam Domains</button> <button type='primary' size='sm' modal='GO_terms'>GO Terms</button> <modal id='Pfam_Domains' size='lg' title='Pfam Domains'> |MFS 1| </modal> <modal id='GO_terms' size='lg' title='GO Terms'> |disaccharide transport| |sucrose transport| |sucrose:proton symporter activity| |oligosaccharide transport| |melanin biosynthetic process| |melanin metabolic process| |melanosome membrane| |secondary metabolite biosynthetic process| |phenol-containing compound biosynthetic process| |developmental pigmentation| |pigment biosynthetic process| |secondary metabolic process| |pigment metabolic process| |carbohydrate transport| |phenol-containing compound metabolic process| |pigmentation| |organic hydroxy compound biosynthetic process| |visual perception| |sensory perception of light stimulus| |organic hydroxy compound metabolic process| |sensory perception| |aromatic compound biosynthetic process| |organic cyclic compound biosynthetic process| |nervous system process| |system process| |membrane| </modal> \\ === CRISPR Data === <button type='default' size='small' modal='Compound_Hit'>Compound Hit</button> <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Most_Correlated_Genes'>Most Correlated Genes in Chemogenomics</button> <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Essential_Avana'>Tissues where Essential in the Avana Dataset (DepMap 20Q1)</button> <modal id='Compound_Hit' size='lg' title='Compound Hit'> No hits were found. </modal> <modal id='Most_Correlated_Genes' size='lg' title='Most Correlated Genes in Chemogenomics'> ^Gene^Correlation^ |[[:human genes:r:ruvbl2|RUVBL2]]|0.461| </modal> <modal id='Essential_Avana' size='lg' title='Tissues where Essential in the Avana Dataset (DepMap 20Q1)'> Global Fraction of Cell Lines Where Essential: 0/739 ^Tissue^Fraction Of Cell Lines Where Essential^ |1290807.0|0/1| |909776.0|0/1| |bile duct|0/28| |blood|0/28| |bone|0/26| |breast|0/33| |central nervous system|0/56| |cervix|0/4| |colorectal|0/17| |esophagus|0/13| |fibroblast|0/1| |gastric|0/16| |kidney|0/21| |liver|0/20| |lung|0/75| |lymphocyte|0/16| |ovary|0/26| |pancreas|0/24| |peripheral nervous system|0/16| |plasma cell|0/15| |prostate|0/1| |skin|0/24| |soft tissue|0/9| |thyroid|0/2| |upper aerodigestive|0/22| |urinary tract|0/29| |uterus|0/5| </modal> == Essentiality in NALM6 == * **<color #00a2e8>Essentiality Rank</color>**: 6355 * **<color #00a2e8>Expression level (log2 read counts)</color>**: -1.95 <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Dist_expr'>Expression Distribution</button> <modal id='Dist_expr' size='lg' title='SLC45A2 Expression in NALM6 Cells: -1.95'> {{:chemogenomics:nalm6 dist.png?nolink |}} </modal> Last modified: 2026/01/07 22:37by 127.0.0.1
