Amino Acid Decarboxylase is an enzyme that catalyzes the removal of a carboxyl group from amino acids, converting them into biogenic amines. This process is essential for the synthesis of neurotransmitters, such as dopamine and serotonin, which play crucial roles in brain function and mood regulation. The activity of Amino Acid Decarboxylase is vital in various biological processes, including metabolism and cell signaling. It is found in many organisms, including humans, and is particularly important in the central nervous system and gastrointestinal tract, where it helps regulate physiological functions.
