Summary: Enables dopachrome isomerase activity. Involved in melanin biosynthetic process from tyrosine. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including melanin biosynthetic process; positive regulation of neuroblast proliferation; and ventricular zone neuroblast division. Located in cytosol and melanosome. Is expressed in several structures, including embryo ectoderm; embryo mesenchyme; integumental system; sensory organ; and skeleton. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in oculocutaneous albinism. Orthologous to human DCT (dopachrome tautomerase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

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.
