CD44 and oculocutaneous albinism type 1: As shown in a previous study, the AS-ATN clone harbours a V2697F mutation in pcubp1 gene, which is believed to affect the function of this protein, reducing de-ubiquitination of different proteins, which would probably increase protein degradation, including parasitic P-gp1, via the 26S proteasome (Hunt et al., 2007).
