carbidopa | Thr82 is implicated in 4'-hydroxyl catechol ring binding | Homo sapiens | |
additional information | the inhibitory principle is based on a hydrazine group that forms a hydrazone derivative with pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, thus blocking it and inactivating the enzyme. Thus, a greater amount of L-Dopa can reach the brain where it can be transformed to dopamine ameliorating disease symptoms. Compounds acting via a suicide mechanism by alkylating the enzyme: alpha-chloromethyl and alpha-fluoromethyl derivatives of Dopa, alpha-vinyl-Dopa and alpha-acetylenic Dopa. The phosphopyridoxyl aromatic amino acids Schiff base analogues and substrate analogues, like green tea polyphenols, also inhibit the enzyme | Homo sapiens | |

physiological function | mammalian Dopa decarboxylase catalyzes the conversion of L-Dopa and L-5 hydroxytryptophan to dopamine and serotonin, respectively. Both of them are biologically active neurotransmitters whose levels has to be finely tuned. An altered concentration of dopamine is the cause of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's disease. Enzyme DDC is not considered to be rate-limiting in physiological catecholamines or indoleamines synthesis, but it becomes rate-limiting in several pathological states related to aberrant dopamine production, such as Parkinson's disease (PD) or the bipolar syndrome. PD is a chronic progressive neurological disorder characterized by tremor, bradykinesia, rigidity and postural instability. These symptons are caused by the low levels of dopamine resulting from the degeneration of dopamine-producing cells in the substantia nigra of the brain | Homo sapiens |

Both of them are biologically active neurotransmitters whose levels has to be finely tuned. Enzyme DDC is not considered to be rate-limiting in physiological catecholamines or indoleamines synthesis. The aromatic compounds produced by oxidative deamination through the enzyme possess similar biological activities as the aromatic amines and thus are strong biologically active signals | Sus scrofa |
