Dopa Decarboxylase

GC07M050458
GIFtS:
52
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... See more...

Summaries for DDC Gene

Entrez Gene Summary for DDC Gene

  • 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]

GeneCards Summary for DDC Gene

DDC (Dopa Decarboxylase) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with DDC include Aromatic L-Amino Acid Decarboxylase Deficiency and Dopamine Beta-Hydroxylase Deficiency. Among its related pathways are Neuroscience and Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor Pathway, Pharmacodynamics. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include enzyme binding and pyridoxal phosphate binding. An important paralog of this gene is HDC.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot Summary for DDC Gene

  • Catalyzes the decarboxylation of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) to dopamine, L-5-hydroxytryptophan to serotonin and L-tryptophan to tryptamine.

Tocris Summary for DDC Gene

  • Decarboxylases are a group of enzymes that remove carboxyl groups (CO2H) from acidic substrates and require either pyridoxal phosphate or pyruvate as a co-factor. Decarboxylases are known for their various roles in metabolic pathways and carbohydrate synthesis.

DDC_HUMAN
  • Aromatic L-amino-acid decarboxylase deficiency (AADCD) [MIM:608643]: 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. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:14991824, ECO:0000269 PubMed:15079002, ECO:0000269 Ref.12}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
