About This Section Entrez Gene summary for DDC : 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) UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: DDC_HUMAN, P20711 Function : Catalyzes the decarboxylation of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) to dopamine, L-5-hydroxytryptophan toserotonin and L-tryptophan to tryptamine summary
for DDC : L-aromatic amino-acid decarboxylase (AADC) (EC: 4.1.1.28) is involved in conversion of L-dopa to dopamine and5-HTP to serotonin.

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 20/68 diseases for DDC (see all 68 ): About MalaCards aromatic l-amino acid decarboxylase deficiency dopamine beta-hydroxylase deficiency supratentorial primitive neuroectodermal tumor attention deficit hyperactivity disorder primitive neuroectodermal tumor age related macular degeneration human immunodeficiency virus infectious disease patent ductus arteriosus postural hypotension peripheral nervous system disease orthostatic hypotension autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome neuroectodermal tumors bipolar affective disorder autism spectrum disorder macular degeneration nicotine dependence neuroepithelioma addison's disease paranoid schizophrenia 4 diseases from the University of Copenhagen DISEASES database for DDC :Peripheral neuropathy Human immunodeficiency virus infectious disease Peripheral nervous system disease Parkinson's disease 10/33 Novoseek disease relationships for DDC gene (see all 33 ) About this table
