Background :

Dopa decarboxylase (DDC), also known as aromatic amino acid decarboxylase, is a group II decarboxylase. The enzyme catalyzes the decarboxylation of aromatic L-amino acids to produce the corresponding amines. DDC produces the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin from L-Dopa and L-5-hydroxytryptophan, respectively. The inhibition of DDC could be used for the treatment of schizophrenia and Parkinson's disease.
