function:Could be a melanogenic enzyme. Could represent an oncofetal self-antigen that is normally expressed at low levels in quiescent adult melanocytes but overexpressed by proliferating neonatal melanocytes and during tumor growth. Release of the soluble form, ME20-S, could protect tumor cells from antibody mediated immunity.,similarity:Belongs to the Pmel-17/NMB family.,similarity:Contains 1 PKD domain.,subcellular location:Identified by mass spectrometry in melanosome fractions from stage I to stage IV.,subcellular location:Probably product of proteolytic cleavage.,tissue specificity:Preferentially expressed in melanomas. Some expression was found in dysplastic nevi. Not found in normal tissues nor in carcinomas.,
