In enzymology, a L-dopachrome isomerase (EC 5.3.3.12) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, L-dopachrome, and one product, 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases, specifically those intramolecular oxidoreductases transposing C=C bonds.
The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-dopachrome keto-enol isomerase.
This enzyme participates in tyrosine metabolism and melanogenesis.
