Identification
Common Name5,6-Dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid
ClassSmall Molecule
Description5,6-Dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid, also known as 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid or 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as indolecarboxylic acids and derivatives. Indolecarboxylic acids and derivatives are compounds containing a carboxylic acid group (or a derivative thereof) linked to an indole. 5,6-Dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid is possibly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). 5,6-Dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, 5,6-Dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid can be biosynthesized from L-dopachrome; which is mediated by the enzyme L-dopachrome tautomerase. In addition, 5,6-Dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid can be converted into melanin through its interaction with the enzyme tyrosinase. In cattle, 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid is involved in the metabolic pathway called the tyrosine metabolism pathway.
