Genomic organization of the porcine dopachrome tautomerase (DCT) gene

2008-04-01

Abstract excerpt

Dopachrome tautomerase (DCT) is an enzyme that isomerizes the melanogenic intermediate 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine-chrome (DOPAchrome) to 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (DHICA) in the biosynthesis of melanin. In this study, we extracted the porcine bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clone containing the entire DCT gene and then sequenced it completely to determine its genomic structure. The BAC clone sequ...
