Concomitantly, also MITF-regulated mRNAs encoding melanoma antigens, including Tyr (Tyrosinase), TRP-1 and TRP-2 (Tyrosinase-related protein), gp100 (Silver), Melan, Melanophilin, M-CAM (melanoma cell adhesion molecule), and MATP (membrane-associated transporter protein also known as solute carrier family 45 member 2 (SLC45A2) or melanoma antigen AIM1), were also highly upregulated. This evidence concerns the gene MCAM and melanoma.
