DOPA decarboxylase family. This family belongs to pyridoxal phosphate (PLP)-dependent aspartate aminotransferase superfamily (fold I). The major groups in this CD correspond to DOPA/tyrosine decarboxylase (DDC), histidine decarboxylase (HDC), and glutamate decarboxylase (GDC). DDC is active as a dimer and catalyzes the decarboxylation of tyrosine. GDC catalyzes the decarboxylation of glutamate and HDC catalyzes the decarboxylation of histidine.
