Transmembrane glycoprotein NMB (GPNMB), also designated hematopoietic growth factor inducible neurokinin-1 (HGFIN), is a single-pass type I membrane protein. Belonging to the Pmel-17/NMB family of proteins, GPNMB acts as a melanogenic enzyme. GPNMB expression is not restricted to cells of melanocytic lineage and is highest in poorly metastatic melanoma cell lines. There is no expression of GPNMB in highly metastatic melanoma cell lines. GPNMB may play a important role in lymphohematopoietic stem cell maturation.
