    Summary
    Enables tyrosine decarboxylase activity. Involved in octopamine biosynthetic process. Located in axon and neuronal cell body. Is expressed in hermaphrodite gonad and neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Parkinson's disease; aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase deficiency; bipolar disorder; and inherited metabolic disorder. Orthologous to human DDC (dopa decarboxylase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
