The tyrosinase family in vertebrates consists of three related melanogenic enzymes: tryrosinase, tyrosinase-related protein-1 (TRP-1) and tyrosinase-related protein-2 (TRP-2). These proteins control melanin production in pigment cells and play a crucial role in determining vertebrate coloration and are expressed by melanoma cells, normal melanocytes and nevi, but not carcinomas or sarcomas. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications have not been tested. Recommended Dilutions: Immunohistochemistry: Frozen Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Positive Control: SK-MEL-23, A375 cells, Melanoma and Skin Storage and Stability: Store product at 4C if to be used immediately within two weeks. For long-term storage, aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing and store at -20C. Aliquots are stable at -20C for 12 months after receipt. Dilute required amount only prior to immediate use. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Caution: FITC conjugates are sensitive to light. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Note: Applications are based on unconjugated antibody.
