TRP‐1 expression correlates with eumelanogenesis in human pigment cells in culture
2 Aug 1993
Abstract excerpt
We have investigated the relationship in human cultured normal and malignant melanocytes between the accumulation of mRNAs encoding tyrosinase and tyrosinase-related protein-1 (TRP-1), the activity of tyrosinase and the presence of melanin. Tyrosinase mRNA correlates with tyrosinase activity and with the presence of pheomelanin, eumelanin or both melanin types. In contrast TRP-1 mRNA is only detectable in cells...
