| Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 20431 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of melanin biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within melanin biosynthetic process. Located in melanosome. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; mesenchyme derived from neural crest; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human PMEL (premelanosome protein). PHENOTYPE: This mutation affects the viability of melanoblasts, resulting in random occurrence of white, partially white or gray hairs, and fully pigmented hairs that together display as varying intensities of silvering.
