	4.1.1.25
Description	Tyrosine decarboxylase.
Catalyzed reaction	L-tyrosine = tyramine + CO(2).
Cofactor	Pyridoxal-phosphate.
Comments	-!- The bacterial enzyme also acts on 3-hydroxytyrosine and, more slowly, on 3-hydroxyphenylalanine.
	This entry does not include plant enzymes with tyrosine decarboxylase activity, which have been included into EC 4.1.1.28 (Aromatic amino acid decarboxylase).
Prosite	PROSITE; PDOC00329;
Organisms	-Bacteria -Archea -Plants
Family	4.1.1.25_a (10) 4.1.1.25_b (10)
