OCA2 (P protein) variants and mutations

OCA2 (also known as P protein) is a human protein-coding gene encoding a p protein. Its annotated function is contributes to a melanosome-specific anion (chloride) current that modulates melanosomal pH for optimal tyrosinase activity required for melanogenesis and the melanosome maturation. It is annotated at the melanosome membrane. This analysis covers 1,293 OCA2 variants and mutations. Of these, 95% have computational variant effect predictions. Disease context includes oculocutaneous albinism type 2, oculocutaneous albinism, and Abnormal skin pigmentation. Example OCA2 variants include H2N, H2Y, and G5T.
