摘要
We have investigated the relationship in human cultured normal and malignant melanocytes between the accumulation of mRNAs encoding tyrosinase and tyrosinase-related protein-1 (TRP-1), the activity of tyrosinase and the presence of melanin. Tyrosinase mRNA correlates with tyrosinase activity and with the presence of pheomelanin, eumelanin or both melanin types. In contrast TRP-1 mRNA is only detectable in cells containing eumelanin, which suggests a role for TRP-1 in the eumelanin synthesis pathway.
