GlossaryTyrosinase-Related Protein 1 (TRP1)

enzyme involved in melanin production affecting skin and hair color

Tyrosinase-Related Protein 1 (TRP-1) is an enzyme involved in the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for the color of skin, hair, and eyes. It plays a crucial role in the melanin synthesis pathway by stabilizing tyrosinase, another key enzyme, and influencing the type and amount of melanin produced, which can affect pigmentation and conditions like albinism and vitiligo.
