Description
Enables catechol oxidase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including dopamine biosynthetic process from tyrosine; iridophore differentiation; and melanosome organization. Predicted to be located in melanosome membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including eye; male organism; melanoblast; neural crest; and presumptive retinal pigmented epithelium. Used to study color blindness and 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).
