Gene Information

human ... DDC(1644)

General description

Aromatic-L-amino-acid decarboxylase (DDC) which is a pyridoxal 5′-phosphate dependent enzyme, is present in the cytosol and cell membrane. The enzymatically active form of the enzyme is detected in many tissues. The gene encoding DDC is localized on chromosome 7p11-p13.

Immunogen

Aromatic-L-amino-acid decarboxylase recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-DDC antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Aromatic-L-amino-acid decarboxylase (DDC) is an enzyme involved in the production of the neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin. It catalyzes the decarboxylation of 3, 4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine (L-Dopa) and L-5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) to form dopamine and serotonin respectively. DDC also uses catechol- or indole-related L-amino acids. This enzyme is a coregulator of the androgen receptor (AR) in prostate cells and enhances its activity. Deficiency of DDC results in severe developmental delay and autonomic dysfunction. It has also been shown that the enzyme is involved in Parkinson′s disease.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
