Target Information
Mouse D-Dopachrome Decarboxylase (Ddt) is an enzyme involved in the melanin synthesis pathway. It catalyzes the decarboxylation of D-dopachrome to form 5,6-dihydroxyindole, a precursor to melanin. This enzyme plays a crucial role in the pigmentation process, particularly in the formation of eumelanin, which contributes to the color of hair, skin, and eyes. In mouse models, mutations in the Ddt gene can lead to altered pigmentation patterns and coat color variations. Ddt is primarily expressed in melanocytes, the cells responsible for melanin production.
