Summary
Enables protein homodimerization activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including melanin biosynthetic process; pigmentation; and thymus development. Located in melanosome. Is expressed in central nervous system; eye; head mesenchyme; mesenchyme derived from neural crest; and skin. Used to study buphthalmos 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). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

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.

  1. NM_001317397.2 → NP_001304326.1  tyrosinase isoform 2 precursor

    Status: VALIDATED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (2) lacks an alternate exon in the 3' coding region, resulting in a frameshift and a novel 3' UTR, compared to variant 1. The encoded isoform (2) has a shorter and distinct C-terminus compared to isoform 1.
