Enables dopachrome isomerase activity. Involved in negative regulation of apoptotic process. Expressed in hypodermis and uterine muscle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including ocular albinism 1; oculocutaneous albinism (multiple); and vitiligo. Is an ortholog of human TYR (tyrosinase).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
