Type:
Tyrosinase expression has been evaluated in various cancers—primarily melanoma—and its association with prognosis.
Tyrosinase and Cancer — Melanocytic Lineage Enzyme, Differentiation Marker, and Selective Target
Melanin Synthesis, Lineage Marker, and Therapeutic Handle

– Tyrosinase is normally expressed in melanocytes and is generally maintained in melanomas.
– Elevated tyrosinase expression in blood (detectable tyrosinase mRNA) has been correlated with advanced disease stage and the presence of micrometastases.
Direction of Regulation in Cancer
-Context-specific, but most informative in melanoma:
-Upregulated in differentiated melanocytic tumors
-Downregulated or lost in dedifferentiated, invasive, therapy-resistant melanoma states

Thus, tyrosinase is best read as a lineage/differentiation marker, not a universal oncogenic driver.

Melanoma is a rare form of skin cancer. It is more likely to invade nearby tissues and spread to other parts of the body than other types of skin cancer.
