Description | A number of pyridoxal-dependent decarboxylases share regions of sequence similarity, particularly in the vicinity of a conserved lysine residue, which provides the attachment site for the pyridoxal-phosphate (PLP) group [ , ]. Among these enzymes are aromatic-L-amino-acid decarboxylase (L-dopa decarboxylase or tryptophan decarboxylase), which catalyses the decarboxylation of tryptophan to tryptamine []; tyrosine decarboxylase, whichconverts tyrosine into tyramine; and histidine decarboxylase, which catalyses the decarboxylation of histidine to histamine [ ]. These enzymes belong to the group II decarboxylases [, ]. |
