Description
Melan-A (MART-1) [A103] is a melanoma-specific antigen, functioning as a transmembrane protein and serving as a melanocyte differentiation marker acknowledged by cytotoxic T cells. Melan-A is expressed in the skin, predominantly in melanocytes and in renal angiomyolipomas . The Melan-A A103 clone, in contrast to clones M2-7C10 and M2-9E3, can assist in identifying steroid hormone-producing tumors and may be especially beneficial in diagnosing adrenocortical cancer.
