Summary: Predicted to enable aromatic-L-amino-acid decarboxylase activity. Acts upstream of or within brain development. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in digestive system; muscle; nervous system; ovary; and pharyngeal arch. 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, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

Loss of Ddc appears to result in similar phenotypes as that of ADCC deficiency, thus zebrafish could be a good model for investigating pathogenetic mechanisms of AADC deficiency in children.
Title: Aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) is crucial for brain development and motor functions.

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.
