The TYRP1 Monoclonal Antibody (PACO62395) is a vital tool for researchers studying TYRP1, a key enzyme involved in melanin synthesis and melanosome biogenesis. This antibody, produced through hybridoma technology, shows high specificity and sensitivity towards TYRP1 in human samples, making it an excellent choice for various research applications such as immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry.TYRP1, also known as tyrosinase-related protein 1, is essential for producing eumelanin, a dark pigment responsible for the color of skin, hair, and eyes.
Dysregulation of TYRP1 has been linked to various pigmentation disorders and melanoma progression, making it a promising target for therapeutic interventions. The TYRP1 Monoclonal Antibody allows for precise detection and analysis of TYRP1 expression in different cell types, providing valuable insights into its role in melanogenesis and melanoma development.

Immunofluorescence staining of A549 cells with PACO62395 at 1:133, counter-stained with DAPI. The cells were fixed in 4% formaldehyde, permeabilized using 0.2% Triton X-100 and blocked in 10% normal Goat Serum. The cells were then incubated with the antibody overnight at 4°C. The secondary antibody was Alexa Fluor 488-congugated AffiniPure Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG(H+L).
Background:
Catalyzes the oxidation of 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid, (DHICA) into indole-5,6-quinone-2-carboxylic acid, May regulate or influence the type of melanin synthesized. Also to a lower extent, capable of hydroxylating tyrosine and producing melanin.
TYRP1: Oxidation of 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (DHICA) into indole-5,6-quinone-2-carboxylic acid. May regulate or influence the type of melanin synthesized. Defects in TYRP1 are the cause of albinism oculocutaneous type 3 (OCA3); also known as Rufous oculocutaneous albinism. An autosomal recessive disorder in which the biosynthesis of melanin pigment is reduced in skin, hair, and eyes. Tyrosinase activity is normal and patients have only moderate reduction of pigment. The eyes present red reflex on transillumination of the iris, dilution of color of iris, nystagmus and strabismus. Darker-skinned individuals have bright copper-red coloration of the skin and hair. Belongs to the tyrosinase family.Protein type: EC 1.14.18.-; Oxidoreductase; Amino Acid Metabolism - tyrosine; Membrane protein, integralChromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 9p23Cellular Component: melanosome membrane; integral to membrane; melanosome; endosome membraneMolecular Function: protein binding; protein homodimerization activity; copper ion binding; oxidoreductase activity, acting on paired donors, with incorporation or reduction of molecular oxygen, another compound as one donor, and incorporation of one atom of oxygen; protein heterodimerization activityBiological Process: melanin biosynthetic process; melanosome organization and biogenesis; melanocyte differentiation; acetoacetic acid metabolic processDisease: Albinism, Oculocutaneous, Type Iii; Skin/hair/eye Pigmentation, Variation In, 11

NCBI Summary:
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. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]
