OCA2 Antibody

Product Specifications

Background

OCA2 is believed to be an integral membrane protein involved in small molecule transport, specifically tyrosine - a precursor of melanin. Mutations in the gene encoding OCA2 result in type 2 oculocutaneous albinism.This gene encodes the human homologue of the mouse p (pink-eyed dilution) gene. The encoded protein is believed to be an integral membrane protein involved in small molecule transport, specifically tyrosine - a precursor of melanin. Mutations in this gene result in type 2 oculocutaneous albinism. Publication Note: This RefSeq record includes a subset of the publications that are available for this gene.
