A17096A_PURE_DOPA_Antibody_1_090919
Western blot of purified anti-DOPA Decarboxylase (DDC) antibody (clone A17096A). Lane 1: Molecular weight marker; Lane 2: 30 µg of mouse brain lysate; Lane 3: 20 µg of HEK293 cell lysate. The blot was incubated with 5 µg/mL of the primary antibody overnight at 4°C, followed by incubation with HRP-labeled goat anti-mouse IgG (Cat. No. 405306). Enhanced chemiluminescence was used as the detection system.

Description

DOPA decarboxylase (DDC) is the enzyme that catalyzes several decarboxylation reactions including the conversion of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) to dopamine, L-5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) to serotonin, and L-tryotophan to tryptamine. DDC is the rate-limiting enzyme in dopamine synthesis in patients treated with L-DOPA and in serotonin synthesis in people treated with 5-HTP, such as those affected by Parkinson’ disease and Depression, respectively. Therefore, DDC is an important therapeutic target for these disorders. DDC deficiency is associated with severe developmental delay, oculogyric crises, and autonomic dysfunction.
