DCT Protein, Human (His-SUMO)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

DCT Protein is essential in melanin biosynthesis, catalyzing the conversion of L-dopachrome to 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (DHICA), a pivotal step in melanin synthesis. DCT Protein, Human (His-SUMO) is the recombinant human-derived DCT protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-SUMO, N-10*His labeled tag.

Biological Activity

Description

DCT Protein is essential in melanin biosynthesis, catalyzing the conversion of L-dopachrome to 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (DHICA), a pivotal step in melanin synthesis. DCT Protein, Human (His-SUMO) is the recombinant human-derived DCT protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-SUMO, N-10*His labeled tag.

Background

The DCT protein plays a crucial role in the biosynthesis of melanin. It is responsible for catalyzing the conversion of L-dopachrome into 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (DHICA), which is a key step in melanin synthesis.
