Establishment of a synchronized tyrosinase transport system revealed a role of Tyrp1 in efficient melanogenesis by promoting tyrosinase targeting to melanosomes

Abstract Tyrosinase (Tyr) is a key enzyme in the process of melanin synthesis that occurs exclusively within specialized organelles called melanosomes in melanocytes. Tyr is synthesized and post-translationally modified independently of the formation of melanosome precursors and then transported to...
