Gene Information
Gene Official Full Name	premelanosome proteinprovided by HGNC
Also known as	P1; SI; SIL; ME20; P100; SILV; HMB45; ME20M; gp100; HMB-45; ME20-M; PMEL17; D12S53E
Gene Description	This gene encodes a melanocyte-specific type I transmembrane glycoprotein. The encoded protein is enriched in melanosomes, which are the melanin-producing organelles in melanocytes, and plays an essential role in the structural organization of premelanosomes. This protein is involved in generating internal matrix fibers that define the transition from Stage I to Stage II melanosomes. This protein undergoes a complex pattern of prosttranslational processing and modification that is essential to the proper functioning of the protein. A secreted form of this protein that is released by proteolytic ectodomain shedding may be used as a melanoma-specific serum marker. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
