MyBioSource.com's DCT Polyclonal Antibody is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody. This antibody has been shown to work in applications such as: EIA, Immunoassay, ELISA, Immunohistochemistry, and Western Blot. The DCT Polyclonal Antibody was generated using DCT, and dopachrome tautomerase as the antigen and it reacts with Human, Mouse, and Rat.
Description
Dopachrome tautomerase (dopachrome delta-isomerase, tyrosine-related protein 2), also known as DCT, is a human gene. The human TYRP2 protein has 83% identity and 90% similarity to the mouse sequence and has all the structural characteristics of the tyrosinase protein family, including a signal peptide, 15 conserved cysteine residues, 2 copper-binding domains, and a C-terminal membrane-spanning region. Northern blot analysis showed that TYRP2 is expressed at high levels in human melanoma cells. Its expression is regulated by the microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF)
