catalyzes several decarboxylation reactions:

  • L-DOPA to dopamine - a neurotransmitter
  • 5-HTP to serotonin - also a neurotransmitter
  • tryptophan to tryptamine


per OMIM, Ma et al. (2005) [PMID 15879433] found two different DDC haplotypes associated with nicotine dependence in African Americans and European Americans (with measures of smoking quantity [SQ], heaviness of smoking index [HSI], and the Fagerstrom test for ND [FTND])
