Immunogen
A synthetic peptide from the 3d cytoplasmic domain of human GPR143 (OA1) conjugated to blue carrier protein was used as the antigen.
Accession
Also known
G-protein coupled receptor 143, ocular albinism type 1 protein, GPR143, OA1
Target
Ocular albinism type 1 protein is a conserved integral membrane protein with seven transmembrane domains. It is expressed in the eye and epidermal melanocytes.
FUNCTION: Not known; binds heterotrimeric G proteins.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Melanosome membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note: Targeted to intracellular organelles, namely the melanosomes in pigment cells.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Exclusively expressed in pigment cells.
DISEASE: Defects in GPR143 are the cause of ocular albinism type 1 (OA1); also known as Nettleship-Falls type ocular albinism. OA1 is an X-linked disorder characterized by severe impairment of visual acuity, retinal hypopigmentation and the presence of macromelanosomes.
Storage
