Tyrp1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables protein homodimerization activity. Involved in positive regulation of melanin biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including acetoacetic acid metabolic process; melanocyte differentiation; and melanosome organization. Located in melanosome membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including hip; nervous system; sensory organ; skeleton; and skin. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in oculocutaneous albinism; oculocutaneous albinism type III; and pigmentation disease. Orthologous to human TYRP1 (tyrosinase related protein 1).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Tyrp1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
