    M H Brilliant
    Department of Pediatrics, University of Arizona College of Medicine, Tucson 85724, USA
    Pigment Cell Res 14:86-93. 2001
    ..In light of these observations, a model of p protein function is presented in which the p protein, together with the ATP-driven proton pump, regulates the pH of the melanosome...
  2. ncbi A 122.5-kilobase deletion of the P gene underlies the high prevalence of oculocutaneous albinism type 2 in the Navajo population
    Zanhua Yi
    Department of Pediatrics, College of Medicine, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85724, USA
    Am J Hum Genet 72:62-72. 2003
    ..5%. The estimated prevalence of OCA2 in Navajos is between approximately 1 per 1,500 and 1 per 2,000. We further estimate that this mutation originated 400-1,000 years ago from a single founder...

    Dev Biol 254:93-101. 2003
    ..Based on these observations, we propose that GABA, synthesized by the palatal epithelium, acts as a signaling molecule during orientation and fusion of the palate shelves...

    Nucleic Acids Res 31:5941-8. 2003
    ..Thus, Sox6 is within the BMP pathway in cardiac differentiation, interacts with Prtb and may play a critical role in the regulation of a cardiac L-type Ca2+ channel...

  1. GENETIC AND MOLECULAR ANALYSES OF MUTATIONS
    MURRAY BRILLIANT; Fiscal Year: 2002
    ..In addition, differential display, cDNA subtraction, and/or gene expression profiling will be used to compare mutant and non-mutant tissues in an attempt to identify Sox6 targets. ..
  2. The function of proteins associated with albinism
    MURRAY BRILLIANT; Fiscal Year: 2005
    ..The characterization of mouse models for these hypopigmentation disorders will provide a system to test the efficacy of genetic and biochemical intervention in the treatment of the homologous human disorders. ..
