High impact information on TYR

  • We have identified two evolutionarily conserved regions within the 5' flanking sequence that may be functionally significant, as they contain regulatory elements previously reported to play a role in melanocyte-specific expression of TYR in mammals [1].
  • We have isolated and sequenced a genomic DNA sequence encoding chicken tyrosinase (TYR) that includes 2125 nt of 5' flanking sequence, the first exon and a part of the first intron [1].
  • Refined localization of the chicken KITLG, MGP and TYR genes on GGA1 by FISH mapping using BACs [2].
  • RESULTS: Molecular analysis of the chicken TYR gene has revealed a major structural difference (Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism, RFLP) in the genomic DNA of the recessive white chicken [3].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of TYR

  • A major size difference of 7.7 kb was found in intron 4 of the TYR gene by long-range PCR [3].
