Abstract
Guinea-pig aromatic-L-amino acid decarboxylase (DOPA decarboxylase, DDC), but not rat DDC, reacts with the antibody against rat histidine decarboxylase (HDC). For determination of the molecular reaction for this cross-reactivity, a cDNA clone of guinea-pig DDC was isolated. Guinea-pig DDC consists of 480 amino acids and its molecular weight is 54,148. The sequence identify of guinea-pig DDC with rat DDC is 86%. Guinea-pig DDC has a region showing 100% sequence identity with rat HDC, but only 67% sequence identity with rat DDC, suggesting that this region is related with the cross-reactivity of guinea-pig DDC and anti-rat HDC antibody.Entities:
