Predicted to enable oxidoreductase activity. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including ocular albinism 1; oculocutaneous albinism (multiple); and vitiligo. Is an ortholog of human DCT (dopachrome tautomerase); TYR (tyrosinase); and TYRP1 (tyrosinase related protein 1).
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.
