General annotation

Function Part of a membrane-spanning permease system necessary for the transport of pigment precursors into pigment cells responsible for eye color. White dimerize with brown for the transport of guanine. Scarlet and white complex transports a metabolic intermediate (such as 3-hydroxy kynurenine) from the cytoplasm into the pigment granules.
Subcellular location Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cytoplasmic granule membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note=Pigment granules within pigment cells and retinula cells of the compound eye (when complexed with st).
