Source: E.coli

Tag Info: N-terminal 10xHis-SUMO-tagged

Expression Region: 24-472aa

Sequence Info: Partial

MW: 69.7 kDa

Purity: Greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Relevance: Catalyzes the conversion of L-dopachrome into 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (DHICA) (PubMed:1537333). Involved in regulating eumelanin and phaeomelanin levels.

Reference: "A second tyrosinase-related protein, TRP-2, maps to and is mutated at the mouse slaty locus." Jackson I.J., Chambers D.M., Tsukamoto K., Copeland N.G., Gilbert D.J., Jenkins N.A., Hearing V.J. EMBO J. 11:527-536(1992)

Storage: The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself. Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20?/-80?. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20?/-80?.

Notes: Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4? for up to one week.

Function: Catalyzes the conversion of L-dopachrome into 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (DHICA)

Involvement in disease: The slaty mutation in Tyrp2 leads to a decrease of DT activity and a consequent change in the pigmentation of the mice to a dark gray/brown eumelanin. The slaty-2j mutation has a similar phenotype, the slaty-lt (light) mutation has a more severe effect and is semidominant; its phenotype may be a result of the failure of the enzyme to be correctly targeted to its normal location on the inner face of the melanosomal membrane.

Subcellular Location: Melanosome membrane, Single-pass type I membrane protein, Melanosome

Protein Families: Tyrosinase family

Tissue Specificity: Melanocytes and retinal pigmented epithelium.

Paythway:

Form: Liquid or Lyophilized powder

Buffer: If the delivery form is liquid, the default storage buffer is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 5%-50% glycerol. If the delivery form is lyophilized powder, the buffer before lyophilization is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 6% Trehalose, pH 8.0.

Reconstitution: We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20?/-80?. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.
