Moderate to strong cytoplasmic immunoreactivity was observed in several cases of melanomas.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
TYRP1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
b-PROTEIN, CAS2, CATB, GP75, OCA3, TRP, TYRP
Description
Tyrosinase-related protein 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene 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]
