SK-MEL-23 cells (clone TA99) and recombinant full-length human TYRP1 protein (clone TYRP1/807) were used as the immunogen for the TRP1 antibody cocktail.
It reacts with a 75kDa melanocyte-specific gene product, identified as Tyrosinase-related protein-1 (TRP-1). It is involved in melanin synthesis. TRP1 is present on the melanosomal membranes of melanoma, normal melanocytes and nevi.Recent evidence sugges
