Summary: Enables several functions, including amino acid binding activity; aromatic-L-amino-acid decarboxylase activity; and pyridoxal phosphate binding activity. Involved in several processes, including aminergic neurotransmitter loading into synaptic vesicle; dopamine biosynthetic process; and response to pyrethroid. Located in axon; neuronal cell body; and synaptic vesicle. Used to study Parkinson's disease. Biomarker of Parkinson's disease; end stage renal disease; nephrotic syndrome; and portal hypertension. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Parkinson's disease; aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase deficiency; bipolar disorder; inherited metabolic disorder; and nicotine dependence.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
