Participants
| Role | Name | HCID | Charge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reactant | Dopachrome | HCID 119399 | — |
| Reactant | 5,6-Dihydroxyindole-2-Carboxylic Acid | HCID 119405 | — |
| Product | 5,6-Dihydroxyindole | HCID 114683 | — |
Reaction Steps
TRP-2 catalyzes the tautomerization of DOPAchrome to 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (DHICA). In the absence of TRP-2, the DOPAchrome undergoes a spontaneous decarboxylation to form 5,6-dihydroxyindole (DHI).
