L-Tyrosine or tyrosine (symbol Tyr or Y) [2] or 4-hydroxyphenylalanine is one of the 20 standard amino acids that are used by cells to synthesize proteins.It is a conditionally essential amino acid with a polar side group.

Albinism is often but not always related to the TYR gene coding the tyrosinase enzyme. Tyrosinase is required for melanocytes to produce melanin from the amino acid tyrosine . [ 14 ] Albinism may be caused by a number of other genes as well, like OCA2 , [ 15 ] SLC45A2 , [ 16 ] TYRP1 , [ 17 ] and HPS1 [ 18 ] to name some.
Other names in common use include beta-tyrosinase, and L-tyrosine phenol-lyase (deaminating). This enzyme participates in tyrosine metabolism and nitrogen metabolism . It employs one cofactor , pyridoxal phosphate .
Tyrosinase is an enzyme needed in melanin synthesis in the melanin producing cell of the skin, the melanocyte. By reducing the activity of tyrosinase, β-arbutin reduces the synthesis of melanin, leading to a lighter skin tone and the diminished appearance of hyperpigmentation. It is not as potent an inhibitor of tyrosinase as α-arbutin. [6]
Note the eyes and lips remain the normal colour. Studies have shown that the reduced pigment comes from a mutation in the gene for tyrosinase, the same as causes Type I oculocutaneous albinism in humans. [1] This white horse owes its coloring to a dominant allele (dominant white). A leucistic rock dove. Both the eyes and legs are still of the ...
The tyrosinase (TYR) gene is located on chromosome 11q14. This protein coding gene produces tyrosinase, an enzyme which catalyzes a total of three steps in the conversion of tyrosine to the end product, melanin. [7] This enzyme and conversion process takes place within melanocytes, which are specialized cells for melanin production. [8]
