Abstract: Tyrosinase,which is the only expression product of the Tyr gene,is the limited-speed enzyme during the melanin biogenesis.This article summarized the structure,function and genetic variations of Tyr gene from animals and human. As a result,it will provide helps for the research and application of Tyr gene in future.

Key words: melanin; tyrosinase; Tyr gene
