Function
Involved in melanosome biogenesis by ensuring the stability of GPR143. Plays a vital role in the expression, stability, trafficking, and processing of melanocyte protein PMEL, which is critical to the formation of stage II melanosomes.
The results of the present work demonstrate that the essential melanocyte-specific transcription factor MITF regulates expression of the genes encoding the melanoma tumor markers MLANA and SILV. MITF up- or down-regulation is seen to correspondingly modulate expression of MLANA and SILV in parallel directions, at both mRNA and protein levels.
