The antibody was affinity-purified from mouse antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen.
背景
dopa decarboxylase(DDC) Homo sapiens The encoded protein catalyzes the decarboxylation of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) to dopamine, L-5-hydroxytryptophan to serotonin and L-tryptophan to tryptamine. Defects in this gene are the cause of aromatic L-amino-acid decarboxylase deficiency (AADCD). AADCD deficiency is an inborn error in neurotransmitter metabolism that leads to combined serotonin and catecholamine deficiency. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2011],
功能
catalytic activity:3,4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine = dopamine + CO(2).,catalytic activity:5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan = 5-hydroxytryptamine + CO(2).,cofactor:Pyridoxal phosphate.,disease:Defects in DDC are the cause of aromatic L-amino-acid decarboxylase deficiency (AADCD) [MIM:608643]. AADCD deficiency is an inborn error in neurotransmitter metabolism that leads to combined serotonin and catecholamine deficiency. It causes developmental and psychomotor delay, poor feeding, lethargy, ptosis, intermittent hypothermia, gastrointestinal disturbances. The onset is early in infancy and inheritance is autosomal recessive.,function:Catalyzes the decarboxylation of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) to dopamine, L-5-hydroxytryptophan to serotonin and L-tryptophan to tryptamine.,online information:Aromatic L-amino-acid decarboxylase entry,pathway:Catecholamine biosynthesis; dopamine biosynthesis; dopam
