Summaries for TYR Gene

Entrez Gene Summary for TYR Gene

  • The enzyme encoded by this gene catalyzes the first 2 steps, and at least 1 subsequent step, in the conversion of tyrosine to melanin. The enzyme has both tyrosine hydroxylase and dopa oxidase catalytic activities, and requires copper for function. Mutations in this gene result in oculocutaneous albinism, and nonpathologic polymorphisms result in skin pigmentation variation. The human genome contains a pseudogene similar to the 3' half of this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

GeneCards Summary for TYR Gene

TYR (Tyrosinase) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with TYR include Albinism, Oculocutaneous, Type Ia and Albinism, Oculocutaneous, Type Ib. Among its related pathways are Dopamine metabolism and Metabolism. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include protein homodimerization activity and oxidoreductase activity. An important paralog of this gene is DCT.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot for TYR Gene

  • This is a copper-containing oxidase that functions in the formation of pigments such as melanins and other polyphenolic compounds. Catalyzes the initial and rate limiting step in the cascade of reactions leading to melanin production from tyrosine. In addition to hydroxylating tyrosine to DOPA (3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine), also catalyzes the oxidation of DOPA to DOPA-quinone, and possibly the oxidation of DHI (5,6-dihydroxyindole) to indole-5,6 quinone.

Polymorphic Variants from UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot for TYR Gene

TYRO_HUMAN-P14679
Genetic variants in TYR define the skin/hair/eye pigmentation variation locus 3 (SHEP3) [MIM:601800]. Hair, eye and skin pigmentation are among the most visible examples of human phenotypic variation, with a broad normal range that is subject to substantial geographic stratification. In the case of skin, individuals tend to have lighter pigmentation with increasing distance from the equator. By contrast, the majority of variation in human eye and hair color is found among individuals of European ancestry, with most other human populations fixed for brown eyes and black hair.
TYRO_HUMAN-P14679
Compound heterozygosity for the R402Q polymorphism and a mutant allele of TYR is a common cause of autosomal recessive ocular albinism. The R402Q polymorphism is also found in Waardenburg syndrome type II with ocular albinism (WS2-OA) in association with a deletion in the MITF gene.

  • Albinism, oculocutaneous, 1A (OCA1A) [MIM:203100]: An autosomal recessive disorder in which the biosynthesis of melanin pigment is absent in skin, hair, and eyes. It is characterized by complete lack of tyrosinase activity due to production of an inactive enzyme. Patients present with a life-long absence of melanin pigment after birth, and manifest increased sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation with predisposition to skin cancer. Visual anomalies include decreased acuity, nystagmus, strabismus and photophobia. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:10571953, ECO:0000269 PubMed:10671066, ECO:0000269 PubMed:10987646, ECO:0000269 PubMed:11295837, ECO:0000269 PubMed:11858948, ECO:0000269 PubMed:1487241, ECO:0000269 PubMed:15146472, ECO:0000269 PubMed:1642278, ECO:0000269 PubMed:1899321, ECO:0000269 PubMed:1943686, ECO:0000269 PubMed:1970634, ECO:0000269 PubMed:22981120, ECO:0000269 PubMed:2342539, ECO:0000269 PubMed:23504663, ECO:0000269 PubMed:24934919, ECO:0000269 PubMed:7902671, ECO:0000269 PubMed:7955413, ECO:0000269 PubMed:8128955, ECO:0000269 PubMed:8644824, ECO:0000269 PubMed:9259202}.

  • Albinism, oculocutaneous, 1B (OCA1B) [MIM:606952]: An autosomal recessive disorder in which the biosynthesis of melanin pigment is reduced in skin, hair, and eyes. It is characterized by partial lack of tyrosinase activity. Patients have white hair at birth that rapidly turns yellow or blond. They manifest the development of minimal-to-moderate amounts of cutaneous and ocular pigment. Some patients may have with white hair in the warmer areas (scalp and axilla) and progressively darker hair in the cooler areas (extremities). This variant phenotype is due to a loss of tyrosinase activity above 35-37 degrees C. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:10987646, ECO:0000269 PubMed:1900309, ECO:0000269 PubMed:1903591, ECO:0000269 PubMed:8128955}.
