About PMEL

Cytogenetic location: 12q13.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 12:55,954,105-55,966,709 (from NCBI)

This gene has 19 transcripts (splice variants), 261 orthologues and 2 paralogues. Biased expression in skin (RPKM 37.5), testis (RPKM 2.4) and 1 other tissue.

Summary

This gene encodes a melanocyte-specific type I Transmembrane Glycoprotein. The encoded protein is enriched in melanosomes, which are the melanin-producing organelles in melanocytes, and plays an essential role in the structural organization of premelanosomes. This protein is involved in generating internal matrix fibers that define the transition from Stage I to Stage II melanosomes. This protein undergoes a complex pattern of prosttranslational processing and modification that is essential to the proper functioning of the protein. A secreted form of this protein that is released by proteolytic ectodomain shedding may be used as a melanoma-specific serum marker. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
