| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
5,6-Dihydroxyindole is a melanin precursor. It is one of the toxic compounds in the melanin biosynthetic pathway. 5,6-Dihydroxyindole is an indole derivative that contains two hydroxyl groups attached to the 5th and 6th positions of the indole ring. It is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of melanin, a pigment responsible for the coloration of hair, skin, and eyes in humans and other organisms. | [Uses]
5,6-Dihydroxyindole is an intermediate in melanogenesis, the production of melanin which is found in our skin, eyes, hair, and inner ear. | [Definition]
ChEBI: 5,6-dihydroxyindole is a dihydroxyindole. It has a role as a mouse metabolite. | [Synthesis Reference(s)]
