We have cloned the cDNAs encoding tyrosinase-related protein-2 (TRP-2) from a human melanoma cDNA library. Transient expression of the isolated cDNA in HeLa cells established that TRP-2 is DOPAchrome tautomerase. Human TRP-2/DOPAchrome tautomerase is composed of 519 amino acids with a molecular weight of 59,000 and has about 84% identity with the mouse counterpart.
我们从人黑色素瘤cDNA文库中克隆了编码酪氨酸酶相关蛋白2(TRP-2)的cDNA。将分离得到的cDNA在HeLa细胞中瞬时表达,证实TRP-2是多巴色素互变异构酶。人TRP-2/多巴色素互变异构酶由519个氨基酸组成,分子量为59,000,与小鼠的对应物具有约84%的同源性。
