Comments | A pyridoxal-phosphate protein. The enzyme also acts on some other aromatic L-amino acids, including L-tryptophan. |
Rate-limiting Description | "The central hypothesis of this study is that coexpression of four dopamine biosynthetic and transporter genes in striatal neurons can support the efficient production and regulated, vesicular release of dopamine: tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) converts tyrosine to L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA), GTP cyclohydrolase I (GTP CH I) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of the cofactor for TH, aromatic amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) converts L-DOPA to dopamine, and a vesicular monoamine transporter (VMAT-2) transports dopamine into synaptic vesicles, thereby supporting regulated, vesicular release of dopamine and relieving feedback inhibition of TH by dopamine." (15684695) |
| "Three enzymes are necessary for efficient dopamine synthesis: tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) converts tyrosine to L-DOPA, aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) then converts L-DOPA to dopamine, and guanosine triphosphate cyclohydrolase I (GCH) is the rate-limiting enzyme for the synthesis of TH co-factor tetrahydrobiopterine." (12235825) |
| "In tubules preincubated with inhibitors of aromatic amino acid decarboxylase (AADC), the rate-limiting enzyme in renal dopamine formation, prolactin had no effect on Na(+), K(+)-ATPase activity." (16164646) |
| "Tyrosine hydroxylation, the rate-limiting step in CA synthesis, was assessed by measuring the accumulation of 3,4-dihydroxyphenyalanine (DOPA) by high pressure liquid chromatography coupled to electrochemical detection (HPLC-EC) in rat striatal dices following incubation of the tissue with the aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase inhibitor m-hydroxybenzyl hydrazine (NSD 1015)."
