The oculocutaneous albinism type IV gene Matp is a new marker of pigment cell precursors during mouse embryonic development.

Mechanisms of development - 1 Aug 2002

Baxter Laura L, Pavan William J

Abstract excerpt

Expression profile analysis demonstrated that the expression of membrane-associated transporter protein (MATP) varied similarly to the melanogenic enzymes dopachrome tautomerase (DCT) and tyrosinase related protein 1 (TYRP1) (Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA (2002) in press). Mutations in MATP result in pigmentation alterations in mice (underwhite, uw), in medaka (b-locus), and in man (Oculocutaneous Albinism Type 4,...
