Abstract excerpt
Tyrosinase-related protein 1 (Tyrp1) is a melanosomal glycoprotein required for eumelanin biosynthesis through the oxidation of 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (DHICA). Pathogenic variants in Tyrp1 cause oculocutaneous albinism type 3 (OCA3), but the molecular basis by which individual substitutions impair Tyrp1 stability and activity remains incompletely understood. Here, we examined wild-type Tyrp1 and...
