Where is Dopachrome Tautomerase Found in the Body?
DCT is predominantly found in melanosomes, the specialized organelles within melanocytes where melanin is synthesized. These organelles are located in the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin, and are also present in hair follicles and the uveal tract of the eye. The expression of DCT is a key indicator of melanocyte activity and is often used as a marker in histological studies to identify these cells.
