Metabolite Identification
Common NameLeucodopachrome
DescriptionLeucodopachrome is an indolic intermediate in the melanogenesis pathway, the non-enzymatic product of dopaquinone through cyclization in a reaction whose operation is determined by a pH greater than 4 (melanin synthesis in human pigment cell lysates is maximal at pH 6.8). Leucodopachrome participates in redox exchange with dopaquinone to give the eumelanin precursor dopachrome plus DOPA. Dopaquinone (the quinone intermediate resulting from tyrosinase-mediated oxidation of tyrosine, monophenol dihydroxyphenylalanine:oxygen oxidoreductase, EC 1.14.18.1) could be a toxic metabolite in melanin biosynthesis (PMID: 6807981 , 1445949 , 413870 , 11461115 , 11171088 , 12755639 ).
