| Tissue Specificity | Expression is restricted to melanoma and melanocyte cell lines and retina. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Acylated. |
| Function | Involved in melanosome biogenesis by ensuring the stability of GPR143. Plays a vital role in the expression, stability, trafficking, and processing of melanocyte protein PMEL, which is critical to the formation of stage II melanosomes. |
