Summary: Predicted to enable dopachrome isomerase activity. Predicted to be involved in melanin biosynthetic process from tyrosine and response to blue light. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including melanin biosynthetic process; positive regulation of neuroblast proliferation; and ventricular zone neuroblast division. Predicted to be located in cytosol; melanosome; and plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in oculocutaneous albinism. Orthologous to human DCT (dopachrome tautomerase).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
