Tyrosinase-related Protein 2 (TRP-2) (181-188) is a peptide derived from the tyrosinase-related protein 2 (TRP-2), specifically corresponding to residues 180-188. It is the primary epitope within TRP-2 that is recognized by anti-B16 CTLs. Moreover, It is a peptide that conforms to the binding motif of the MHC class I H2-Kb.
Noroxyhydrastinine exhibits potent melanogenesis-inhibitory activities, it inhibits melanogenesis, at least in part, by inhibiting the expression of protein levels of tyrosinase, TRP-1, and TRP-2 in α-MSH-stimulated B16 melanoma cells.
