| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables aromatic-L-amino-acid decarboxylase activity. Acts upstream of or within gene expression; kidney development; and response to toxic substance. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; heart; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Used to study aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase deficiency. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Parkinson's disease; aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase deficiency; bipolar disorder; inherited metabolic disorder; and nicotine dependence. Orthologous to human DDC (dopa decarboxylase). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for one knock-out allele exhibit preweaning phenotype. Mice homozygous for a different knock-in allele exhibit partial prenatal lethality, decreased body size, postnatal growth retardation, hypoactivity, increased anxiety, tremors, decreased heart rate and decreased dopamine levels.
