Summary: Predicted to enable copper ion binding activity; protein homodimerization activity; and tyrosinase activity. Involved in several processes, including response to UV; response to cAMP; and response to vitamin D. Predicted to be located in melanosome and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Used to study oculocutaneous albinism. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including melanoma (multiple); ocular albinism 1; oculocutaneous albinism (multiple); retinoschisis; and vitiligo. Orthologous to human TYR (tyrosinase). [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.
