Abstract

We have isolated cDNAs for the human TRP-2 gene which represents a third member of the tyrosinase-related gene family and encodes the dopachrome tautomerase activity that functions in the synthesis of melanin pigment. The human TRP-2 protein has 83% identity/90% similarity to the mouse sequence and has all the structural characteristics of the tyrosinase protein family, including a signal peptide, 15 conserved cysteine residues, two copper-binding domains and a C-terminal membrane-spanning region. Northern blot analysis reveals that TRP-2 is expressed at high levels in human melanoma cells.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 9. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 September 2017.
All research outputs
#3,798,611
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Gene
#528
of 10,914 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#1,402
of 20,888 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Gene
#4
of 86 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 83rd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 10,914 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.8. This one has done well, scoring higher than 89% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 20,888 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 86 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 90% of its contemporaries.
