Summary: 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. Predicted to be integral component of 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 melanoma (multiple); ocular albinism; oculocutaneous albinism (multiple); retinoschisis; and vitiligo. Orthologous to human TYR (tyrosinase).

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.
