Description

Human Recombinant Monoclonal Antibody

Binds Tyrosinase-related protein-1 (TRP-1), a 70-75k enzyme located in melanocytes, which are specialized cells that produce a pigment called melanin, helping to stabilize tyrosinase, which is the enzyme responsible for the first step in melanin production and determine the shape of melanosomes, which are the structures in melanocytes where melanin is produced.

This gene encodes a melanosomal enzyme that belongs to the tyrosinase family and plays an important role in the melanin biosynthetic pathway. Defects in this gene are the cause of rufous oculocutaneous albinism and oculocutaneous albinism type III.
