Cell Marque – Mouse Monoclonal Antibody HMB-45 + MART-1 + Tyrosinase Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

Last updated: 22nd May, 2024

Anti-HMB45 is a marker that reacts with antigens present on immature melanosomes. MART-1, or Melan A, is a melanocyte differentiation antigen in melanocytes of normal skin, retina, nevi, and most melanomas.

Tyrosinase is an enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of melanin expressed in epidermal melanocytes, pigmented epithelia of the eye, and most melanomas. Anti-HMB45/MART-1/Tyrosinase reactivity in melanomas makes this combination a useful immunohistochemical reagent for identifying melanomas and melanocytic lesions.1-9
