Background: PMEL

Premelanasome protein (PMEL) is a nonmutated "self" antigen expressed by melanocytes, most melanoma cells, substantia nigra, and retinal pigmented epithelium.  This protein plays an essential role in the structural organization of premelanosomes. PMEL is over-expressed in all stages of melanoma progression and is negative prognostic marker for the overall survival rate of melanoma patients.  PMEL is also associated with melanin-based pigmentation, neurodegenerative disease (functional amyloid) and glaucoma (missense mutations). How PMEL amyloid is tolerated within cells is of major therapeutic interest as it is related to Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
