Oxidation of dopa in human albinism.
1985
: The urine of an albino woman contained small quantities of 5-S-cysteinyldopa; 6-hydroxy-5-methoxyindole-2-carboxylic acid, a melanin precursor metabolite, was lacking. The 5-S-cysteinyldopa excretion observed may reflect non-specific oxidation of dopa. Two other albino patients showed normal values for the excretion of 5-S-cysteinyldopa and of 6-hydroxy-5-methoxyindole-2-carboxylic acid.
