Entrez ID 51151
Gene name Solute carrier family 45 member 2
Gene symbol SLC45A2
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
1A1AIM1MATPOCA4SHEP5
Chromosome 5
Chromosome location 5p13.2
Summary This gene encodes a transporter protein that mediates melanin synthesis. 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 associa
