The 15 pages that link to Tyrosinase, each with the reason it gives.

• MelaninRelated: Its activity helps control the rate of melanin production.

• MelanocyteRelated: Its activity helps determine how much melanin melanocytes produce.

• MelanogenesisRelated: It controls the initial oxidation steps that commit tyrosine to melanin synthesis.

• MelanosomeRelated: Its activity within melanosomes initiates pigment synthesis.

• EumelaninRelated: It initiates reactions that supply building blocks for eumelanin.

• Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentationRelated: Several pigment treatments work by reducing activity in this pathway.

• AlbinismRelated: Variants that impair this enzyme cause some forms of albinism with little or no melanin.

• PheomelaninRelated: It initiates reactions that feed both pheomelanin and eumelanin synthesis.

• Siamese catRelated: A heat-sensitive form of this enzyme underlies the Siamese colorpoint pattern.

• Azelaic acidRelated: Azelaic acid inhibits tyrosinase, explaining its use for some forms of hyperpigmentation.

• Himalayan catRelated: Temperature-sensitive pigment production helps create the Himalayan’s colorpoint coat.

• Balinese catRelated: A temperature-sensitive form helps produce the Balinese color-point pattern.

• Burmese catRelated: A temperature-sensitive tyrosinase variant produces the Burmese coat’s darker extremities.

• Human hair colorRelated: Its activity is part of the biochemical pathway that supplies hair pigment.
