Ensure consistent DDC staining with this pre-prepared IHC kit, supplying a full complement of reagents tailored for efficient, start-to-finish staining.
Description
Aromatic-L-Amino-Acid Decarboxylase (DDC), belongs to the pyridoxal-dependent aminotransferase superfamily. DDC catalyzes the decarboxylation of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) to dopamine, L-5-hydroxytryptophan to serotonin, and L-tryptophan to tryptamine. DDC deficiency causes aromatic L-amino-acid decarboxylase deficiency (AADCD). Research has shown that DDC is involved in the biosynthesis of bioamines and catecholamines.

IHC Control Slides
Creative Biolabs control slides are prepared using top quality tissues that have been processed, embedded and sectioned following standard operating procedure. We provide the following antigen (tissue) controls: - Positive control: a section from a tissue known to express the protein of interest. - Negative control: a section from a tissue known not to express the target antigen. - Endogenous tissue background control: a section from the tissue that doesn't have a primary antibody applied.
Tissue Samples
Creative Biolabs also offers biospecimen including formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue blocks, fresh or snap frozen tissue blocks, tissue microarray (TMA) slides. Please contact us to request a customized price quotation.
