Vectors for Human OCA2

Gene Information

  • Offical Gene Symbol OCA2
  • Species Human (Homo sapiens)
  • Offical Full Name OCA2 melanosomal transmembrane protein
  • Other Aliases BEY; BEY1; BEY2; BOCA; D15S12; EYCL; EYCL2; EYCL3; HCL3; P; PED; SHEP1
  • Other Desigations P protein; P-protein; eye color 2 (central brown); eye color 3 (brown); hair color 3 (brown); melanocyte-specific transporter protein; oculocutaneous albinism II (pink-eye dilution homolog, mouse); pink-eyed dilution protein homolog; total brown iris pigmentation
  • Gene Type protein-coding
  • Summary
    This gene encodes the human homolog 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, which is a precursor to melanin synthesis. It is involved in mammalian pigmentation, where it may control skin color variation and act as a determinant of brown or blue eye color. Mutations in this gene result in type 2 oculocutaneous albinism. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]
