Silver homologue / Pmel 17 (C-terminus) Immunizing Peptide
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a melanocyte-specific type I transmembrane glycoprotein. The encoded protein is enriched in melanosomes, which are the melanin-producing organelles in melanocytes, and plays an essential role in the structural organization of premelanosomes. This protein is involved in generating internal matrix fibers that define the transition from Stage I to Stage II melanosomes. This protein undergoes a complex pattern of prosttranslational processing and modification that is essential to the proper functioning of the protein. A secreted form of this protein that is released by proteolytic ectodomain shedding may be used as a melanoma-specific serum marker. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Uniprot Description
SILV: Plays a central role in the biogenesis of melanosomes. Involved in the maturation of melanosomes from stage I to II. The transition from stage I melanosomes to stage II melanosomes involves an elongation of the vesicle, and the appearance within of distinct fibrillar structures. Release of the soluble form, ME20-S, could protect tumor cells from antibody mediated immunity. Belongs to the PMEL/NMB family. 5 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
Protein type: Membrane protein, integral; Vesicle
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 12q13-q14
Cellular Component: endoplasmic reticulum membrane; extracellular region; Golgi apparatus; integral to plasma membrane; melanosome; plasma membrane
Molecular Function: protein binding
Biological Process: melanin biosynthetic process; melanosome organization and biogenesis; pigmentation during development

Product Notes
The SILV pmel (Catalog #AAA426575) is a Blocking Peptide and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Silver homologue / Pmel 17 (C-terminus) Immunizing Peptide reacts with Human, Mouse, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. The amino acid sequence is listed below: CPIGENSPLL SGQQ. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Silver homologue / Pmel 17, Blocking Peptide" 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
