OCA2 Nucleotide



OCA2 Protein



OMIM Search Results - The OCA2 gene is also known as the P gene because it plays a role in regulating the pH of melanosomes. - The human P protein is an 838 amino acid polypeptide - The protein is an integral membrane protein of melanosomes which may be a tyrosine transporter - The human OCA2 gene contains 25 exons (which are segments of DNA or RNA that contain coding information for a protein) - P gene mutations differ widely
 * One example of a mutation would be a deletion of part of an exon
 * "7 unrelated African American patients were studied with OCA2 and identified different abnormalities of the P gene in all 7"
 * Refer to OMIM citation for article

STRING Node- all proteins produced by that single protein-coding gene locus Edge- line connecting nodes meaning those proteins jointly contribute to a shared function Small node- unknown 3D structure Large node- Some 3D structure is known/ predicted Yellow edge- Information has been learned through text by carefully studying patterns ("Textmining") Purple edge- Information has been experimentally determined Light blue edge- Information known through databases
