UniProtKB accession:  P07147

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Plays a role in melanin biosynthesis (PubMed:2245916). Catalyzes the oxidation of 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (DHICA) into indole-5,6-quinone-2-carboxylic acid (PubMed:7813420). May regulate or influence the type of melanin synthesized (PubMed:7813420, PubMed:2245916). Also to a lower extent, capable of hydroxylating tyrosine and producing melanin (PubMed:1537333).
