Gene Name: PMEL

Specificity: No cross reactivity with other proteins.

Background: This gene is mapped to 12q13.2. It encodes a melanocyte-specific type I transmembrane glycoprotein. The encoded protein is enriched in melanosomes, which are the melanin-producing organelles in melanocytes, and plays an essential role in the structural organization of premelanosomes. This protein is involved in generating internal matrix fibers that define the transition from Stage I to Stage II melanosomes. This protein undergoes a complex pattern of prosttranslational processing and modification that is essential to the proper functioning of the protein. A secreted form of this protein that is released by proteolytic ectodomain shedding may be used as a melanoma-specific serum marker. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Immunogen: A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the N-terminus of human Melanoma gp100/PMEL, which shares 71.4% and 65.7% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat Melanoma gp100/PMEL, respectively.

Purification: Immunogen affinity purified.

Reconstitution: Add 0.2ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500ug/ml.
