Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 7299
Gene name Tyrosinase
Gene symbol TYR
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
ATNCMM8OCA1OCA1AOCAIASHEP3
Chromosome 11
Chromosome location 11q14.3
Summary The enzyme encoded by this gene catalyzes the first 2 steps, and at least 1 subsequent step, in the conversion of tyrosine to melanin. The enzyme has both tyrosine hydroxylase and dopa oxidase catalytic activities, and requires copper for function. Mutati
