Function

Plays a role in melanin biosynthesis (PubMed:16704458, PubMed:22556244, PubMed:23504663). Catalyzes the oxidation of 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (DHICA) into indole-5,6-quinone-2-carboxylic acid in the presence of bound Cu(2+) ions, but not in the presence of Zn(2+) (PubMed:28661582). May regulate or influence the type of melanin synthesized (PubMed:16704458, PubMed:22556244). Also to a lower extent, capable of hydroxylating tyrosine and producing melanin (By similarity).

Activity summary

TRP1 (Tyrosinase-related protein 1) also known as gp75 is a copper-binding protein involved in melanin biosynthesis. TRP1 has a molecular mass of approximately 75 kDa. It is expressed mainly in melanocytes and retinal pigment epithelium cells where it contributes to pigmentation processes. TRP1 functions as an oxidase enzyme catalyzing steps in the transformation of dopa to melanin a pigment responsible for coloration in skin hair and eyes.

Biological function summary

TRP1 participates in a protein complex known as the melanosome. In this complex it plays a role in the proper polymerization and stabilization of eumelanin one type of melanin. It influences the quality and quantity of melanin produced affecting pigmentation. TRP1’s interaction with other tyrosinase family members like tyrosinase and TRP2 is important in maintaining the complex's integrity and function with each member contributing uniquely to the melanogenesis process.

Pathways

TRP1 operates within the melanogenesis and WNT signaling pathways. In the melanogenesis pathway TRP1 works alongside tyrosinase for the production of melanin pigment. The WNT signaling pathway which is significant for cellular differentiation and proliferation connects TRP1 through regulatory networks that influence melanocyte development and pigmentation. Regulation of TRP1 and these proteins ensures proper melanin synthesis impacting pigmentation processes in the organism.

Associated diseases and disorders

TRP1 has connections to conditions such as albinism and melanoma. In albinism mutations in TRP1 can lead to reduced melanin production causing pigmentation defects. TRP1's altered expression has been linked to melanoma a type of skin cancer highlighting its role in melanin regulation and tumor biology. The relationship between TRP1 and tyrosinase in diseases like melanoma highlights the significance of their interaction in both normal pigmentation and disease progression.

    Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Alexa Fluor® 488 Anti-TRP1 antibody [EPR21960] (ab270104)

    ab270104 staining TRP1 in B16-F10 cells, with negative expression in NIH3T3 cells. The cells were fixed with 100% methanol (5 min), permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated overnight at +4°C with ab270104 at 1/500 dilution (shown in green) and Alexa Fluor® 647 Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [EP1332Y] - Microtubule Marker ab190573, Rabbit monoclonal to alphaTubulin (Alexa Fluor® 647), at 1/250 dilution (shown in red). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).

    Image was acquired with a high-content analyser (Operetta CLS, Perkin Elmer) and a maximum intensity projection of confocal sections is shown.

    This product also gave a positive signal under the same testing conditions in B16-F10 cells fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10 min).
