Part Description
LP36621-8 OCA2 gene
The OCA2 gene (oculocutaneous albinism II) [HGNC Gene ID:8101] is located on chromosome 15q. 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] [NCBI Gene ID:4948]
