Summary: Acts upstream of or within iridophore differentiation; melanin biosynthetic process; and melanocyte differentiation. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. Predicted to be active in melanosome membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in actinic keratosis; oculocutaneous albinism type II; pigmentation disease; skin cancer (multiple); and squamous cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human OCA2 (OCA2 melanosomal transmembrane protein). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
