  • HMDB11622
Metabolite Identification
Common NameD-Dopachrome
DescriptionD-dopachrome is reversibly converted into 5,6-dihydroxyindole and carbon dioxide via the enzyme D-dopachrome decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.84). Cultured human melanoma cells contain this enzyme as well as human liver (PMID: 8267597 ). Dopaquinone has an ortho-quinone ring, which is known to be neurotoxic and highly reactive with many other compounds (PMID: 413870 ).
