Difference between Melanin and SLC24A5

Melanin vs. SLC24A5

Melanin (from μέλας melas, "black, dark") is a broad term for a group of natural pigments found in most organisms. Sodium/potassium/calcium exchanger 5 (NCKX5), also known as solute carrier family 24 member 5 (SLC24A5), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC24A5 gene that has a major influence on natural skin colour variation.

Similarities between Melanin and SLC24A5

Melanin and SLC24A5 have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Amino acid, Europe, Human skin color, Melanin, Melanocyte, Protein, Vitamin D.

Amino acid

Amino acids are organic compounds containing amine (-NH2) and carboxyl (-COOH) functional groups, along with a side chain (R group) specific to each amino acid.

Melanocyte

Melanocytes are melanin-producing neural crest-derived cells located in the bottom layer (the stratum basale) of the skin's epidermis, the middle layer of the eye (the uvea), the inner ear, vaginal epithelium, meninges, bones, and heart.
