Description: PMEL17/Melanoma gp100/SILV plays a central role in the biogenesis of melanosomes. Involved in the maturation of melanosomes from stage I to II. The transition from stage I melanosomes to stage II melanosomes involves an elongation of the vesicle, and the appearance within of distinct fibrillar structures. Release of the soluble form, ME20-S, could protect tumor cells from antibody mediated immunity. [UniProt]

The gp100 molecule is a 100kDa glycosylated protein that is cleaved into a small (26kDa) carboxy-terminal fragment and a larger amino- terminal section (60-64 kDa), which is subsequently cleaved to generate 26kDa and 34-38kDa fragments.

Immunogen: Recombinant human protein was used as the immunogen for the PMEL17 antibody.

Storage: Store the PMEL17 antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20 °C or colder (without azide).
