Research AreasCell Biology

Function

Plays a role in melanin biosynthesis. Catalyzes the conversion of L-dopachrome into 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (DHICA).

Biological Context

Subcellular Location: Melanosome membrane (Single-pass type I membrane protein); Melanosome
Tissue Specificity: Melanocytes and retinal pigmented epithelium (at protein level)
Disease Association: [The slaty mutation in Tyrp2 leads to a decrease of DT activity and a consequent change in the pigmentation of the mice to a dark gray/brown eumelanin. The slaty-2j mutation has a similar phenotype, the slaty-lt (light) mutation has a more severe effect and is semidominant; its phenotype may be a result of the failure of the enzyme to be correctly targeted to its normal location on the inner face of the melanosomal membrane]
Pathway: Pigment biosynthesis; melanin biosynthesis
