Dct isomerizes the intermediate dopachrome to 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid, DHICA, and influences the proportion of DHICA monomer incorporated into the 5,6-dihydroxyindole, DHI, polymer in eumelanin
DHICA monomers are required to incorporate into the DHI polymer backbone of eumelanin. DHICA exhibits a potent hydroxyl radical-scavenging activity when bound to melanin, while DHI-melanin does not

WM35-wild-type and WM35-C2 cells, containing overexpressed TRP-2 enzyme are incubated with various H2O2 concentrations to determine the survival rate. TRP-2 reduces oxidative stress-induced toxicity of WM35-C2 cells compared to the wild-type cells, at 300 microM H2O2 30% decrease of cell sensitivity. TRP-2 protects genomic DNA from oxidative stress damage: in wild-type WM35 cells the damaging effect on DNA is visible at 50 microM H2O2. WM35 cells containing the overexpressed TRP-2 show DNA damage after treatment with 100 microM H2O2. The overexpression of TRP-2 in HEK-293 cells shows no improvement of the cell sensitivity to oxidative stress
