analysis | loss of dopa decarboxylase appears to result in similar phenotypes as those of aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase deficiency, thus zebrafish could be a good model for investigating pathogenetic mechanisms of aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase deficiency in children | Danio rerio |

physiological function | inhibition of dopa dearboxylase by inhibitor NSD-1015 or anti-sense morpholino oligonucleotides reduces brain volume and body length. Oligonucleotide-treated emryos display brain cell apoptosis and loss of dipencephalic catecholaminergic cluster neurons as well as seizure-like activity in a dose-dependent manner. Treated embroys have less sensitive touch response and impaired swimming activity that can be rescued by injection of plasmids carrying the dopa decarboxylase gene. In addition, eye movement is significantly impaired in treated embryos | Danio rerio |
