Protein
L-dopachrome tautomerase yellow-f2
Organism
Drosophila melanogaster
Function
Tautomerization of L-dopachrome with decarboxylation to give 5,6-dihydroxyindole (DHI). Also catalyzes the tautomerization of the methyl ester of L-dopachrome and dopamine chrome. May play a role in melanization reactions during late pupal and adult stages.
Similarity
Belongs to the major royal jelly protein family.
