Observations on the substrate specificity of DOPA decarboxylase from ox adrenal medulla, human phaeochromocytoma and human argentaffinoma.
    British journal of pharmacology and chemotherapy, 1962, Volume: 18

    The substrate specificity of the dopa decarboxylases of ox adrenal medulla, human phaeochromocytoma and human argentaffinoma have been studied. The enzymes from all three tissues decarboxylated dopa, metatyrosine, orthotyrosine and 5-hydroxytryptophan. Dopa was decarboxylated most rapidly and 5-hydroxytryptophan least rapidly by the enzyme from all three tissues. Competition experiments indicate that all four substrates are decarboxylated by the one enzyme. Attempts to demonstrate decarboxylation of [C(14)]-tyrosine, [C(14)]-tryptophan or [C(14)]-histidine by these enzyme preparations were unsuccessful.
