Dihydroxyphenylalanine 61-65 Dopa decarboxylase Drosophila melanogaster 81-84 20098687-2 2010 Physiologically, DDC is responsible for the production of dopamine and serotonin through the decarboxylation of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine and 5-hydroxytryptophan, respectively. Dihydroxyphenylalanine 112-138 Dopa decarboxylase Drosophila melanogaster 17-20 2407577-1 1990 Dopa decarboxylase (DDC) which converts dopa to dopamine is important for cuticular melanization and sclerotization in insects. Dihydroxyphenylalanine 40-44 Dopa decarboxylase Drosophila melanogaster 0-18 2407577-1 1990 Dopa decarboxylase (DDC) which converts dopa to dopamine is important for cuticular melanization and sclerotization in insects. Dihydroxyphenylalanine 40-44 Dopa decarboxylase Drosophila melanogaster 20-23 6790250-8 1981 The chi methyl dopa hypersensitive gene, 1(2) and, is 0.002 map units distal to Ddc. Dihydroxyphenylalanine 15-19 Dopa decarboxylase Drosophila melanogaster 80-83
