Abstract excerpt
Tyrosinase, a copper-containing oxidase, plays a vital role in the melanin biosynthesis pathway. Mutations in the tyrosinase gene can disrupt the hydroxylation of tyrosine, leading to decreased production of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA). Consequently, this impairs the subsequent formation of dopaquinone, a key precursor in melanin pigment synthesis. This study aimed to identify the deleterious non-synonymous...
