Gene: TYRP1

Alternate names for this Gene: CAS2|CATB|GP75|OCA3|TRP|TRP1|TYRP|b-PROTEIN

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a melanosomal enzyme that belongs to the tyrosinase family and plays an important role in the melanin biosynthetic pathway. Defects in this gene are the cause of rufous oculocutaneous albinism and oculocutaneous albinism type III.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 9

Location in Chromosome : 9p23

Description of this Gene: tyrosinase related protein 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding

Gene: LURAP1L-AS1
