Protein Function
Plays a role in melanin biosynthesis. Catalyzes the conversion of L-dopachrome into 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (DHICA).
Involvement in Disease
Albinism, oculocutaneous, 8 (OCA8): A form of oculocutaneous albinism, a disorder of pigmentation characterized by reduced biosynthesis of melanin in the skin, hair and eyes. OCA8 is an autosomal recessive form characterized by mild hair and skin hypopigmentation, associated with ocular features including nystagmus, reduced visual acuity, iris transillumination, and hypopigmentation of the retina. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
