 Use of Tyrosine decarboxylase


Tyrosine decarboxylase (TDC; TyrDC) widely exists in plants, insects and different microorganisms, and is often used in biochemical research. Tyrosine decarboxylase is a pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP)-dependent decarboxylase that catalyzes the removal of carboxyl groups from tyrosine to produce tyramine and carbon dioxide[1].
