Ddc - Dopa decarboxylase

Enables 5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan decarboxylase activity and L-dopa decarboxylase activity. Involved in several processes, including adult chitin-containing cuticle pigmentation; aromatic amino acid metabolic process; and memory. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including aminergic neurons; epithelium; ganglia; gut section; and mushroom body medial lobe. 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. Orthologous to human DDC (dopa decarboxylase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]
