General annotation (Comments)
| Function | Catalyzes the decarboxylation of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) to dopamine, L-5-hydroxytryptophan to serotonin and L-tryptophan to tryptamine. |
| Catalytic activity | L-dopa = dopamine + CO2. 5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan = 5-hydroxytryptamine + CO2. |
| Cofactor | Pyridoxal phosphate. Ref.4 |
| Pathway | Catecholamine biosynthesis; dopamine biosynthesis; dopamine from L-tyrosine: step 2/2. |
| Subunit structure | Homodimer. |
| Sequence similarities | Belongs to the group II decarboxylase family. |
