DDT - D-dopachrome tautomerase

Entrez Gene Name: D-dopachrome tautomerase
Synonyms: C78655, D-dopachrome tautomerase, DDCT, DDT

Gene Summary

  • Human (1652): D-dopachrome tautomerase converts D-dopachrome into 5,6-dihydroxyindole. The DDT gene is related to the migration inhibitory factor (MIF) in terms of sequence, enzyme activity, and gene structure. DDT and MIF are closely linked on chromosome 22. [provided by RefSeq]
