By catalyzing the reaction to produce dopamine, DDC is involved in many important metabolic processes and plays a central role in the complex neuroendocrine-immune regulatory network (1). DDC is expressed in the central nervous system (3), but has also been detected in some peripheral organs such as the liver and adrenal gland, as well as leukocytes of rat and human (1). DDC is thought to be the sole enzyme responsible for the synthesis of the trace amines 2-phenylethylamine, p-tyramine, and tryptamine, which are considered to act as neuromodulators (2,4). DDC is also regarded as a general biomarker for neuroendocrine tumors (3).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\nAADC; Aromatic-L-amino-acid decarboxylase; DDC; DOPA decarboxylase; dopa decarboxylase (aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase)\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H M R\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 48\nSource\/Isotype: Rabbit IgG","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46797596917929,"sku":"13561S","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-13561s","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
