D-Dopachrome Tautomerase (DDT) (AA 1-118) protein (His tag)
Description
DDT is an enzyme that catayzes the tautomerization of D-dopachrome to give 5,6-dihydroxyindole (DHI). DDT is part of the family of lyases, specifically the carboxy-lyases, which cleave carbon-carbon bonds. DDT shares a homologous AA sequence (33 % identical) with MIF and has similar tautomerase activity. DDT functions a proinflammatory cytokine Synonyms: EC 4.1.1.84, DDCT, D-dopachtome decarboxylase, D-Dopachrome Tautomerase
