Description

Description: MaxLight™550 is a new Yellow-Green photostable dye conjugate comparable to Alexa Fluor™546, 555, DyLight™549 , Cy3™, TRITC and offers better labeling efficiency, brighter imaging and increased immunodetection. Absorbance (550nm); Emission (575nm); Extinction Coefficient 150,000. Tyrosinase is a copper-containing metalloglycoprotein that catalyzes several steps in the melanin pigment biosynthetic pathway; the hydroxylation of tyrosine to L-3,4-dihydroxy- phenylalanine (dopa), and the subsequent oxidation of dopa to dopaquinone. Mutations of the tyrosinase gene occur in various forms of albinism. Tyrosinase is one of the targets for cytotoxic T-cell recognition in melanoma patients. Staining of melanomas with antibody showed tyrosinase in melanotic as well as amelanotic variants (1). This antibody is a useful marker for melanocytes and melanomas.

Specificity

Recognizes a cluster of proteins between 70-80kD, identified as tyrosinase. Occasionally a minor band at 55kD is also detected. Does not crossreact with MAGE-1 and tyrosinase-related protein 1, TRP-1/gp75. Species Crossreactivity: Human, canine and feline. Weak crossreactivity with mouse.
