| Product Name | 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde synthase |
| Example Structure |  |
| Synonyms | DHPA synthase, DHPAA synthase, EAT37246 |
| EC Number | 4.1.1.107 |
| CAS Registry Number | |
| Comments | A pyridoxal 5′-phosphate protein. The enzyme, isolated from the mosquito?Aedes aegypti, catalyses the production of 3,4-dihydroxylphenylacetaldehyde directly from?L-dopa. Dopamine is not formed as an intermediate (cf. EC?4.1.1.28, aromatic-L-amino-acid decarboxylase). The enzyme is specific for?L-dopa and does not react with other aromatic amino acids with the exception of a low activity with ¦Á-methyl-L-dopa. |
