DDT (gene)

D-dopachrome decarboxylase is an is_associated_with::enzyme that in humans is encoded by the DDT is_associated_with::gene.

D-dopachrome tautomerase converts D-dopachrome into 5,6-dihydroxyindole. The DDT gene is related to the is_associated_with::macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) in terms of sequence, enzyme activity, and gene structure. DDT and MIF are closely linked on chromosome 22.
