The following DOPA Decarboxylase ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of dopa decarboxylase in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the DDC gene. This protein is known to catalyze the decarboxylation of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) to dopamine and L-5-hydroxytryptophan to serotonin. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 480 residues, a mass of 53.9 kDa, and is a member of the Group II decarboxylase protein family. As many as 4 protein isoforms have been reported. The gene encoding this protein has been associated with the disease, Aromatic L-amino-acid decarboxylase deficiency. This protein may also be known as aromatic-L-amino-acid decarboxylase, dopa decarboxylase (aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase), and AADC.
The detection range for different dopa decarboxylase ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 31.2 pg/mL and as high as 100 ng/mL.
