DDT - D-dopachrome tautomerase Gene
Also Known as D-DT; DDCT; MIF2; MIF-2
Species: Homo sapiens
About DDT
This gene has 8 transcripts (splice variants), 1 gene allele, 174 orthologues and 2 paralogues. Broad expression in liver (RPKM 108.4), kidney (RPKM 65.2) and 23 other tissues.
Summary
D-dopachrome tautomerase converts D-dopachrome into 5,6-dihydroxyindole. The DDT gene is related to the migration inhibitory factor (MIF) in terms of sequence, enzyme activity, and gene structure. DDT and MIF are closely linked on chromosome 22. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
