What food contains tyrosinase?

I looked it up at Answers.com (http://www.answers.com/tyrosinase?cat=health) Appears that TYROSINASE is contained in some fruits and vegetables (like apples, or potatoes; the entry in Answers.com also explains that this enzyme is responsible for the dark colour produced when cut raw food is exposed to air.

What seems to produce more melanin pigmentation in the extremities of Siamese cats?

Albinism is a mutation in the TYR gene, responsible for the enzyme tyrosinase. Tyrosinase, in turn, is necessary for the production of melanin, or dark pigmentation.See the related link for further information.

Which cat represents a coat pattern that is regulated by temperature?

The Siamese cat has temperature-sensitive pigment expression due to the albino gene. The coat pattern is a result of this gene because it is a defective form of tyrosinase that is regulated by the cat's body temperature.


What gene causes albinism?

Ocular albinism (OA1) is caused by a genetic defect on chromosome 11 of the GPR143 gene. Oculocutaneous albinism type 2 (OCA2 or P gene albinism) results from a genetic defect on chromosome 15 in the P protein that helps the tyrosinase enzyme to function. Oculocutaneous albinism type 3 (OCA3) is rarely described and results from a genetic defect on chromosome 9 in TYRP1, a protein related to tyrosinase. Oculocutaneous albinism type 4 (OCA4) results from a genetic defect in chromosome 5 at position 13.3, in the SLC45A2 protein that helps the tyrosinase enzyme to function.

Why is a Siamese cat colored the way they are?

variation in temperature, with cold temperature producing dark fur. Siamese cats have a temperature sensitive mutation in tyrosinase, the enzyme necessary to produce melanin. The enzyme is not active at body temperature, but is active at cooler temperatures, in the extremities. Siamese cats in cooler climates are darker than in warm countries.
