Supplementary information

DOPA Decarboxylase also known as DDC or aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase is an enzyme critical in neurotransmitter production. It has a molecular mass of approximately 54 kDa. DOPA Decarboxylase converts L-DOPA to dopamine and 5-HTP to serotonin. This enzyme is expressed in tissues like the brain liver and kidney with high activity levels in the central nervous system.
Biological function summary

DOPA Decarboxylase plays an essential role in the synthesis of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin. It functions as part of the enzymatic conversion process and is not typically associated with larger complexes. The availability and activity of DDC directly influence the levels of these neurotransmitters affecting various physiological responses.

Pathways

DOPA Decarboxylase participates in the catecholamine biosynthesis pathway. This pathway is important for regulating body functions like mood motivation and fine motor control. DDC activity connects it with proteins such as tyrosine hydroxylase which provides the precursor L-DOPA for dopamine synthesis. Additionally it is involved in the serotonin biosynthesis pathway alongside tryptophan hydroxylase.

DOPA Decarboxylase shows significant relevance to conditions like Parkinson's disease and depression. Reduced DDC activity results in decreased dopamine levels which contribute to Parkinson’s symptoms. In depression altered DDC function affects serotonin levels. Its interaction with proteins like monoamine oxidase also plays a role in these disorders due to their involvement in neurotransmitter metabolism.
