Description
DCT Human Recombinant produced in Sf9 Insect cell is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 455 amino acids (24-472aa.a) and having a molecular mass of 52.1kDa. DCT is fused to a 6 amino acid His tag at C-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Introduction
Dopachrome Tautomerase also known as DCT,
belongs to the tyrosinase family. DCT takes a significant part in the synthesis
of the melanin pigment including tyrosinase (Tyr), tyrosinase-related protein 1
(Tyrp1). Which are highly involved in eumelanin synthesis. The change among the
eumelanin and the pheomelanin pathways is assumed to depend on the presence of
cysteine. Hence, in the lack of cysteine, dopaquinone, the product of
tyrosinase action, is transformed to cyclodopa (leucodopachrome) and afterwards
to dopachrome (and DOPA).
