Usage

Description

EC 4.1.1.25, also known as L-tyrosine decarboxylase, is an enzyme that catalyzes the decarboxylation of L-tyrosine to form tyramine. It is derived from Streptococcus faecalis and plays a crucial role in the biotransformation process.

Uses

Used in Biotransformation Industry:
EC 4.1.1.25 is used as a biocatalyst for the production of tyramine from L-tyrosine. This enzyme has been studied for its potential use in the biotransformation process, where it can help convert L-tyrosine into tyramine, which has various applications in the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries.
Used in Research and Development:
EC 4.1.1.25 is used as a research tool for studying the carbonyl-active site of diamine oxidase. In a study, L-tyrosine decarboxylase from Streptococcus faecalis was used to isolate and identify the carbonyl-active site of diamine oxidase by gas chromatographic mass spectrometry. This research helps in understanding the structure and function of diamine oxidase, which can be useful in developing new drugs and therapies.
Used in Biotechnology:
EC 4.1.1.25 is used as a biotechnological tool for investigating the adsorption of Streptococcus faecalis on diatomite carriers. In a study, the enzyme was used to explore the adsorption of Streptococcus faecalis on diatomite carriers for use in biotransformations. This research can help in developing new methods for immobilizing enzymes and microorganisms, which can improve the efficiency and scalability of biotransformation processes.

Biochem/physiol Actions

L-Tyrosine Decarboxylase Apoenzyme is an aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase. The enzyme activity of tyrosine decarboxylase (TDC) is dependent on the cofactor pyridoxal 5-phosphate (PLP). It catalyzes the decarboxylation of dihydroxyphenylalanine.
