NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes the human homolog of the mouse p (pink-eyed dilution) gene. The encoded protein is believed to be an integral membrane protein involved in small molecule transport, specifically tyrosine, which is a precursor to melanin synthesis. It is involved in mammalian pigmentation, where it may control skin color variation and act as a determinant of brown or blue eye color. Mutations in this gene result in type 2 oculocutaneous albinism. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]
Uniprot Description
OCA2: a transporer of tyrosine, a precursor for melanin synthesis, within melanocytes. Regulates the pH of melanosomes and melanosome maturation. One of the components of the mammalian pigmentary system. Seems to regulate the postranslational processing of tyrosinase, which catalyzes the limiting reaction in melanin synthesis. May serve as a key control point at which ethnic skin color variation is determined. Major determinant of brown and/or blue eye color. Belongs to the SLC13A transporter family.

Product Notes
The OCA2 oca2 (Catalog #AAA8247542) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Anti-P protein Antibody reacts with Human, Mouse and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's P protein can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Western Blot: 1/500 - 1/2000. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the OCA2 oca2 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "P protein, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
