• Post Translation Modifications
• N- and O-glycosylated. A small amount of P1/P100 (major form) undergoes glycosylation in ER and Golgi compartments to yield P2/P120 (minor form). The mature P2 form leaves the trans-Golgi network and is mainly targeted to stage I melanosomes via the plasma membrane and clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Stage II melanosomes harbor only Golgi-modified fragments that are derived from M-alpha and that bear sialylated O-linked oligosaccharides. O-glycosylation of the RPT region is a conserved feature likely involved in amyloid sheet separation via electrostatic repulsion.

• Function
• Forms physiological amyloids that play a central role in melanosome morphogenesis and pigmentation. The maturation of unpigmented premelanosomes from stage I to II is marked by assembly of processed amyloidogenic fragments into parallel fibrillar sheets, which elongate the vesicle into a striated ellipsoidal shape. In pigmented stage III and IV melanosomes, the amyloid matrix serves as a platform where eumelanin precursors accumulate at high local concentrations for pigment formation. May prevent pigmentation-associated toxicity by sequestering toxic reaction intermediates of eumelanin biosynthesis pathway.
