Recombinant Monoclonal Rabbit IgG Clone # TYR/2024R

Azide and BSA Free

1 mg/ml

Recombinant human full-length tyrosinase (TYR) protein (Uniprot: P14679)

Cytoplasmic

Recognizes a cluster of proteins between 70-80kDa, identified as tyrosinase. Occasionally a minor band at 55kDa is also detected. This monoclonal antibody shows no cross-reaction with MAGE-1 and tyrosinase-related protein 1, TRP-1/gp75. Tyrosinase is a copper-containing metalloglycoprotein that catalyzes several steps in the melanin pigment biosynthetic pathway; the hydroxylation of tyrosine to L-3,4-dihydroxy-phenylalanine (dopa), and the subsequent oxidation of dopa to dopaquinone. Mutations of the tyrosinase gene occur in various forms of albinism. Tyrosinase is one of the targets for cytotoxic T-cell recognition in melanoma patients. Staining of melanomas with this monoclonal antibody shows tyrosinase in melanotic as well as amelanotic variants. This monoclonal antibody is a useful marker for melanocytes and melanomas.
