Overview of Gene Research
MFSD12, the major facilitator superfamily domain containing 12 protein, is essential as a transmembrane transporter. It mediates the import of cysteine into melanosomes and lysosomes [1]. This function is crucial for maintaining normal cystine levels in melanosomes, which is related to pheomelanin synthesis. It also plays a role in lysosomal cyst(e)ine storage, influencing redox regulation in cancer cells [2].
In mice, suppression of MFSD12 leads to darker pigmentation [1]. The MFSD12 p.Tyr182His variant in mice can alter the coat color, indicating its role in mammalian pigmentation [4]. In experimental models of cystinosis, MFSD12 depletion reduces cystine accumulation but does not improve proximal tubular function [3].
In conclusion, MFSD12 is vital for cysteine import in melanosomes and lysosomes, influencing pigmentation and redox regulation in cancer cells. The study of MFSD12 through gene-knockout models in mice has provided insights into its role in pigmentation-related processes and lysosomal storage diseases like cystinosis.
