Gene

AAEL010734

Protein

3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde synthase

Organism

Aedes aegypti

Length

521 amino acids

Function

Catalyzes both the decarboxylation and deamination of L-dopa to 3,4-dihydroxylphenylacetaldehyde (DHPAA) (PubMed:21283636). Probably responsible for the protein cross-linking during the development of flexible cuticles (PubMed:21283636). Participates in catecholamine catabolism (PubMed:21283636).

Similarity

Belongs to the group II decarboxylase family.

Mass
