| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables phosphatidylinositol binding activity. Involved in melanosome localization; minus-end-directed organelle transport along microtubule; and phagosome maturation. Acts upstream of or within melanocyte differentiation and melanosome transport. Located in late endosome membrane and melanosome membrane. Part of protein-containing complex. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; gut; hemolymphoid system; inner ear; and liver. Orthologous to human MREG (melanoregulin). PHENOTYPE: A spontaneous suppressor mutation restores normal melanocyte morphology and therefore coat color in mutations producing coat color dilution. [provided by MGI curators] |
