Figure 3.

TYRP1 accumulates in the Golgi of BLOC-2 melanocytes. (a and b) Immunoelectron microscopy of ultrathin cryosections from BLOC-2 (a) and BLOC-2R (b) melanocytes that were immunogold labeled for TYRP1 using10-nm protein A gold (TYRP1 10) and for ATP7A using 15-nm protein A gold (ATP7A 15). GA, Golgi apparatus; II and IV, stage II and IV melanosomes. Arrows show examples of TYRP1 labeling in the Golgi and stage IV melanosomes in BLOC-2 melanocytes (a) and on stage IV melanosomes in BLOC-2R cells (b); note labeling on tubular and vacuolar endosomes in both cell types. Arrowheads show examples of ATP7A labeling on the Golgi and melanosomes in both cell types. Bars, 500 nm.
