L\u2010DOPA is known to signal cell cycle exit during retinal development and plays an important role in the regulation of retinal development. Here, we have mimicked L\u2010DOPA production by ectopically expressing tyrosine hydroxylase in mouse albino retinal pigment epithelium cells. Tyrosine hydroxylase can only oxidize\n                    <jats:sc>l<\/jats:sc>\n                    \u2010tyrosine to L\u2010DOPA without further progression towards melanin. The resulting transgenic animals remain phenotypically albino, but their visual abnormalities are corrected, with normal photoreceptor numbers and hemispheric pathways and improved visual function, assessed by an increase of spatial acuity. Our results demonstrate definitively that only early melanin precursors, L\u2010DOPA or its metabolic derivatives, are vital in the appropriate development of mammalian retinae. They further highlight the value of substituting independent but biochemically related enzymes to overcome developmental abnormalities.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1471-4159.2006.03657.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,1,17]],"date-time":"2006-01-17T14:38:21Z","timestamp":1137508701000},"page":"1201-1211","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":74,"title":["Ectopic expression of tyrosine hydroxylase in the pigmented epithelium rescues the retinal abnormalities and visual function common in albinos in the absence of melanin"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"96","author":[{"given":"Alfonso","family":"Lavado","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Glen","family":"Jeffery","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Victoria","family":"Tovar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pedro","family":"de la Villa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Llu\u00eds","family":"Montoliu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,1,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.visres.2004.12.015"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0014-4835(89)90044-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0749.1994.tb00042.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1523\/JNEUROSCI.12-11-04460.1992"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.89.7.2809"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4449","DOI":"10.1523\/JNEUROSCI.16-14-04449.1996","article-title":"Double transduction with GTP cyclohydrolase I and tyrosine hydroxylase is necessary for spontaneous synthesis of L\u2010DOPA by primary fibroblasts","volume":"16","author":"Bencsics C.","year":"1996","journal-title":"J.
