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

Target Details

Target Function	Catalyzes the conversion of L-dopachrome into 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (DHICA).
Subcellular Location	Melanosome membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Melanosome.
Protein Families	Tyrosinase family
Database References	KEGG: mmu:13190 STRING: 10090.ENSMUSP00000022725 UniGene: Mm.19987
Associated Diseases	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.
Tissue Specificity	Melanocytes and retinal pigmented epithelium (at protein level).

Gene Functions References

soyasaponin Ag inhibited TRP2 expression in a dosedependent manner. Therefore, the depigmenting effect of soyasaponin Ag may be due to the inhibition of tyrosinase expression or the enhancement of tyrosinase degradation. PMID: 28713957
the slaty mutant melanocytes seem to be more sensitive to ultraviolet rays and oxidative stress than black melanocytes. PMID: 26451690
A novel murine model of vitiligo is established by sequential prime/boost immunizations into the hind footpad and tail dermis with tyrosinase-related protein 2 (TRP2)-180 (SVYDFFVWL) peptide. PMID: 23711243

Recombinant dopachrome tautomerase was expressed and purified, without its carboxy-terminal transmembrane region. Analysis of dopachrome tautomerase tryptic peptides by MALDI-TOF/TOF determined N-glycosylation as a primary post-translational modification. PMID: 20386969

the TRP-2 polypeptide folds in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in the presence of calnexin, until it reaches a dithiothreitol-resistant conformation enabling its ER exit to the Golgi PMID: 12719423

We found that ionophore monensin (Mon) and the quaternary amine chloroquine (CQ) discriminate between the traffic routes of TRP-2 and TRP-1 PMID: 15707965
The enzymatic activity of Dct may play a role in determining whether the eumelanin or pheomelanin pathway is preferred for pigment biosynthesis. PMID: 15960609
These results suggest that the slaty mutation affects both eumelanin and pheomelanin synthesis in developmental stage-specific and skin site-specific manners. PMID: 16584806
Slaty mutation blocks the melanosome maturation at stage III and affects the melanosome morphology (elliptical or spherical) in a developmental stage-specific manner. PMID: 17516460
Eumelanin and pheomelanin may accumulate with difficulty in slaty-mutated melanocytes and be easily released from them during skin development. L-Tyr may stimulate this release. PMID: 17551240
These results suggest that the slaty mutation inhibits the development of elliptical stage IV melanosomes and that L-Tyr restores the development of elliptical stage IV melanosomes PMID: 17867832

Proteins are sensitive to heat, and freeze-drying can preserve the activity of the majority of proteins. It improves protein stability, extends storage time, and reduces shipping costs. However, freeze-drying can also lead to the loss of the active portion of the protein and cause aggregation and denaturation issues. Nonetheless, these adverse effects can be minimized by incorporating protective agents such as stabilizers, additives, and excipients, and by carefully controlling various lyophilization conditions.

Commonly used protectant include saccharides, polyols, polymers, surfactants, some proteins and amino acids etc. We usually add 8% (mass ratio by volume) of trehalose and mannitol as lyoprotectant. Trehalose can significantly prevent the alter of the protein secondary structure, the extension and aggregation of proteins during freeze-drying process; mannitol is also a universal applied protectant and fillers, which can reduce the aggregation of certain proteins after lyophilization.

Our protein products do not contain carrier protein or other additives (such as bovine serum albumin (BSA), human serum albumin (HSA) and sucrose, etc., and when lyophilized with the solution with the lowest salt content, they often cannot form A white grid structure, but a small amount of protein is deposited in the tube during the freeze-drying process, forming a thin or invisible transparent protein layer.

Reminder: Before opening the tube cap, we recommend that you quickly centrifuge for 20-30 seconds in a small centrifuge, so that the protein attached to the tube cap or the tube wall can be aggregated at the bottom of the tube. Our quality control procedures ensure that each tube contains the correct amount of protein, and although sometimes you can't see the protein powder, the amount of protein in the tube is still very precise.
