MLPH gene encodes melanophilin, a protein that helps transport melanosomes in melanocytes
MLPH (Melanophilin) is a protein that plays a role in the transport of melanosomes, which are organelles responsible for the production and storage of melanin in melanocytes (the cells that produce pigment in the skin).
Melanophilin is generally downregulated in melanoma and potentially other cancers, and its low expression is often associated with poor prognosis and protumorigenic effects.
