Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

May be involved in melanosomal transport and docking. Involved in the proper sorting of TYRP1. Plays a role in the maturation of phagosomes that engulf pathogens, such as S.aureus and M.tuberculosis. {ECO:0000269PubMed:21255211}.

Subcellular Localization

Cell membrane {ECO:0000305}; Lipid-anchor {ECO:0000305}; Cytoplasmic side {ECO:0000305}. Melanosome. Cytoplasmic vesicle, phagosome. Cytoplasmic vesicle, phagosome membrane {ECO:0000250}; Lipid-anchor {ECO:0000250}; Cytoplasmic side {ECO:0000250}. Note=Recruited to phagosomes containing S.aureus or M.tuberculosis.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Expressed in melanocytes.
