Multiplex immunohistochemistry - Anti-TRP2/DCT antibody [EPR21986] (AB221144)
Panel A : merged staining of anti-Desmoglein 1/DSG1 (gray; Opal™690), anti-Langerin (green; Opal™520) and anti-TRP2/DCT (red; Opal™570) on human skin. Panel B : anti-TRP2/DCT stained on melanocytes. Panel C : anti-Langerin stained on Langerhans cells. Panel D : anti-Desmoglein 1/DSG1 stained on epidermis. The section was incubated in three rounds of staining : in the order of ab236259, ab283686, and ab221144 for 30 mins at room temperature. Each round was followed by a separate fluorescent tyramide signal amplification system. The immunostaining was performed on a Leica Biosystems BOND® RX instrument with an Opal™ 4-color kit. Image acquisition was performed with Leica SP8 confocal microscope.

Biological function summary
TRP2/DCT participates in pigmentation and photoprotection processes. It functions in tandem with other enzymes like tyrosinase and TRP1 to form a multiprotein complex important for melanin synthesis. The coordination of these proteins ensures the effective production and regulation of melanin which absorbs ultraviolet radiation and reduces DNA damage in skin cells.
Pathways
TRP2/DCT plays a role in the melanin biosynthetic pathway and influences the Wnt signaling pathway. The melanin pathway involves enzymes such as tyrosinase which initiates the conversion of tyrosine to L-DOPA and eventually to melanin pigments. The Wnt signaling pathway critical for cellular processes like proliferation and differentiation interacts with melanogenesis through proteins like beta-catenin influencing TRP2/DCT expression and activity.
