SIMILARITY | Belongs to the tyrosinase family. |
DISEASE | Albinism oculocutaneous 3 (OCA3) [MIM:203290]: An autosomal recessive disorder in which the biosynthesis of melanin pigment is reduced in skin, hair, and eyes. Tyrosinase activity is normal and patients have only moderate reduction of pigment. The eyes present red reflex on transillumination of the iris, dilution of color of iris, nystagmus and strabismus. Darker-skinned individuals have bright copper-red coloration of the skin and hair. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
Important Note | This product as supplied is intended for research use only, not for use in human, therapeutic or diagnostic applications. |
Background Descriptions | TRP1 is a melanosomal enzyme that belongs to the tyrosinase family and plays an important role in the melanin biosynthetic pathway. Defects in this gene are the cause of rufous oculocutaneous albinism and oculocutaneous albinism type III. |

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). |
Cellular Location | Melanosome membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P07147}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P07147}. Note=Located to mature stage III and IV melanosomes and apposed endosomal tubular membranes. Transported to pigmented melanosomes by the BLOC-1 complex. Proper trafficking to melanosome is regulated by SGSM2, ANKRD27, RAB9A, RAB32 and RAB38 {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P07147} |
Tissue Location | Pigment cells. |
