1 Tyrosinase exacerbates dopamine toxicity but is not genetically associated with Parkinson"s disease. Dopamine tyrosinase Homo sapiens
2 Whether tyrosinase is beneficial or detrimental to neurons is unclear; whilst the enzyme activity of tyrosinase generates dopamine-quinones and other oxidizing compounds, NM may form a sink for such radical species. Dopamine tyrosinase Homo sapiens
3 In cell culture systems, expression of tyrosinase increases neuronal susceptibility to oxidizing conditions, including dopamine itself. Dopamine tyrosinase Homo sapiens
