Summary
Enables aromatic-L-amino-acid decarboxylase activity. Acts upstream of or within response to toxic substance. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; heart; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Used to study aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase deficiency. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Parkinson's disease; aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase deficiency; bipolar disorder; and inherited metabolic disorder. Orthologous to human DDC (dopa decarboxylase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

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.
