This figure shows the coding region of the tyrosinase related protein-1 gene (537 amino acids). Light blue is the signal peptide, green is the putative metal ion binding regions, orange is the transmembrane region. White circles are the location of cystein residues and the EGF is a epidermal growth factor-like region. Missense mutations are on the top and nonsense, frameshift and splice site mutations are on the bottom.
