Abstract excerpt
Are tyrosinase, encoded at the albino locus, and tyrosinase-related protein-1 (TRP-1), encoded at the brown locus, similarly distributed in melanocytes? We determined the subcellular distribution of tyrosinase and TRP-1 using density fractionation of postnuclear supernatants from mouse melanoma cells of defined genotype followed by immunoblotting with specific antipeptide sera. In highly melanized cells, the...
