MART-1 / Melan-A Antibody

MLANA (Melan-A, also known as MART1; MART-1), located on 9p24.1, is a Protein Coding gene. The gene produces a 13157 Da protein composed of 118 amino acids. MLANA is a hydrophobic transmembrane protein without glycosylation sites highly enriched in early melanosomes. MLANA is expressed in skin and retinae melanocytes and the majority of melanoma tumors, but it is absent from other tissues and tumors. Diseases such as Melanoma In Congenital Melanocytic Nevus and Angiomyolipoma are associated with MLANA. The related pathways of MLANA include NF-kappaB Signaling.
