Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptiontdc-1 encodes the major C. elegans tyrosine decarboxylase; TDC-1 is an aromatic-L-amino-acid/L-histidine decarboxylase that is required for the synthesis of tyramine and octopamine, and thus for behaviors dependent upon these biogenic amines, including egg laying, locomotion, and touch response; TDC-1 is expressed in the RIC and RIM interneurons, in the gonadal sheath cells, and in the UV1 uterine cells.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00025096

Automated_descriptionEnables tyrosine decarboxylase activity. Involved in octopamine biosynthetic process. Located in axon and neuronal cell body. Expressed in hermaphrodite gonad and lateral ganglion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase deficiency; bipolar disorder; and hyperinsulinism. Is an ortholog of human DDC (dopa decarboxylase).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

RemarkOriginally this gene was named adc-1 (aromatic amino acid decarboxylase). As this gene is required for octopamine biosynthesis and because it can convert tyrosine to tyramine in vitro the tyrosine decarboxylase adc-1 is renamed to tdc-1 [Alkema M][030331 ck1]
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
