Melanophilin
Template:Short description An Error has occurred retrieving Wikidata item for infobox
Melanophilin is a carrier protein which in humans is encoded by the MLPH gene.[1][2] Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but the full-length nature of some of these variants has not been determined.
Function
This gene encodes a member of the exophilin subfamily of Rab effector proteins. The protein forms a ternary complex with the small Ras-related GTPase Rab27A in its GTP-bound form and the motor protein myosin Va.[3] A similar protein complex in mouse functions to tether pigment-producing organelles called melanosomes to the actin cytoskeleton in melanocytes, and is required for visible pigmentation in the hair and skin.[4]
In melanocytic cells MLPH gene expression may be regulated by MITF.[5]
Clinical significance
A mutation in this gene results in Griscelli syndrome type 3, which is characterized by a silver-gray hair color and abnormal pigment distribution in the hair shaft.
Mutations in melanophilin cause the "dilute" coat color phenotype in dogs[6] and cats.[7] Variation in this gene appears to have been a target for recent natural selection in humans, and it has been hypothesized that this is due to a role in human pigmentation.[8]
