Aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC; DOPA decarboxylase; DDC) catalyzes the second reaction in the biosynthesis of catecholamines and serotonin. It is also involved in the biosynthesis of trace amines.1) Haycock, J.W., Becker, L., Ang, L., Furukawa, Y., Hornykiewicz, O., and Kish, S.J., "Marked disparity between age-related changes in dopamine and other presynaptic dopaminergic markers in human striatum," J.

Storage Instructions
For long term storage –80˚C is recommended, but shorter term storage at –20˚C is also acceptable as aliquots may be taken without freeze/thawing due to the presence of 50% glycerol. Stable for one year.
Storage Buffer
100 uL in 10 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 ug per mL BSA and 50% glycerol.
