Tyrosinase-Related Protein-1 Definition

A glycoprotein catalase with a membrane-spanning domain and conserved positions of cysteine and histidine residues, TRP1 shares 40% amino acid sequence homology with mouse tyrosinase but has no tyrosinase activity and converts 5, 6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid to melanochrome in premelanosomes. TRP1 is identical to melanosomal protein, gp75. (from OMIM 115501 and NCI)
