Membrane-Associated Transporter Protein (MATP) Regulates Melanosomal pH and Influences Tyrosinase Activity [PDF]
The SLC45A2 gene encodes a Membrane-Associated Transporter Protein (MATP). Mutations of this gene cause oculocutaneous albinism type 4 (OCA4). However, the molecular mechanism of its action in melanogenesis has not been elucidated.

Utility and Safety of Romiplostim in Pediatric Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation
ABSTRACT Background The use of romiplostim, a thrombopoietin agonist, has increased in the last decade for the treatment of immune mediated thrombocytopenia and severe aplastic anemia. Its utility has been explored in the management of delayed platelet engraftment and secondary platelet failure during stem cell transplant (SCT), but its use has ...

Genetic Diagnosis of Oculocutaneous Albinism Type 1A: A Novel TYR Variant
ABSTRACT Oculocutaneous albinism type IA (OCA1A) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by variants in the TYR gene, resulting in complete loss of tyrosinase activity and absence of melanin production. In this study, we report a novel missense variant, TYR (NM_000372.5):c.143A>C (p.Gln48Pro), found within exon 1 and mapped to chr11: g.89178096A ...

Role of the RAB27/SYTL Axis in Tumor Microenvironment Construction
This review focuses on the role of the RAB27/SYTL axis in various cancer types associated with tumor microenvironment modifications. The importance of this pathway and the potential therapeutic strategies targeting vesicle production for the treatment of cancer are also discussed.

A nonsense mutation in B3GALNT2 is concordant with hydrocephalus in Friesian horses [PDF]
Background: Hydrocephalus in Friesian horses is a developmental disorder that often results in stillbirth of affected foals and dystocia in dams. The occurrence is probably related to a founder effect and inbreeding in the population.
