amd - alpha methyl dopa-resistant

Enables 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde synthase activity. Involved in catecholamine metabolic process and chitin-based cuticle development. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including Malpighian tubule primordium; ganglia; gut section; imaginal disc; and larval tracheal system. 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]
