Scientific Data

Detection of Human, Mouse, and Rat Dopa Decarboxylase/DDC by Western Blot. Western blot shows lysates of mouse kidney tissue, PC-12 rat adrenal pheochromocytoma cell line, and human kidney tissue. PVDF membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat Dopa Decarboxylase/DDC Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF3564) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF109). A specific band was detected for Dopa Decarboxylase/DDC at approximately 54 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.

Dopa Decarboxylase/DDC in IMR‑32 Human Cell Line. Dopa Decarboxylase/DDC was detected in immersion fixed IMR-32 human neuroblastoma cell line using Goat Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat Dopa Decarboxylase/DDC Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF3564) at 10 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (red; Catalog # NL001) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm.

Dopa Decarboxylase/DDC in Human Brain. Dopa Decarboxylase/DDC was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human brain (substantia nigra) using Goat Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat Dopa Decarboxylase/DDC Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF3564) at 1 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the Anti-Goat HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS008) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to neuronal cytoplasm.

Dopa Decarboxylase/DDC in Mouse Brain. Dopa Decarboxylase/DDC was detected in perfusion fixed frozen sections of mouse brain using Goat Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat Dopa Decarboxylase/DDC Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF3564) at 5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the Anti-Goat HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS008) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to neuronal cytoplasm.

Background: Dopa Decarboxylase/DDC
Dopa decarboxylase (DDC), also known as aromatic amino acid decarboxylase, is a group II decarboxylase (1). The enzyme catalyzes the decarboxylation of aromatic L-amino acids to produce the corresponding amines. DDC produces the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin from L-Dopa and L-5-hydroxytryptophan, respectively. The inhibition of DDC could be used for the treatment of schizophrenia and Parkinson's disease (2).
