Did you mean Tyrosinase?

GlossaryTyrosinase

enzyme crucial for melanin production in skin and hair

Tyrosinase is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for the color of skin, hair, and eyes. It catalyzes the oxidation of tyrosine, an amino acid, into dopaquinone, which then undergoes further reactions to form melanin. This enzyme is significant in understanding conditions like albinism and vitiligo, where melanin production is affected.
