  • Title: Plasma 5-S-cysteinyldopa concentrations in oculocutaneous albinism.
    Author: Nimmo JE, Hunter JA, Percy-Robb IW, Jay B, Phillips CI, Taylor WO.
    Journal: Acta Derm Venereol; 1985; 65(2):169-71. PubMed ID: 2408424.
    Abstract:
    5-S-cysteinyldopa concentrations were determined by high-pressure liquid chromatography and electrochemical detection in plasma from normally pigmented patients and patients with oculocutaneous albinism, both tyrosinase-positive and tyrosinase-negative. The plasma 5-S-cysteinyldopa concentrations were similar in all three groups, suggesting that 5-S-cysteinyldopa can be produced by mechanisms which do not involve tyrosinase.
