Gene Symbol:

HDC Homo sapiens

Full name:

histidine decarboxylase

Synonyms:

histidine decarboxylase

Genomic Location:

Chr 15: 48321436-48345218

Description:

This gene encodes a member of the group II decarboxylase family and forms a homodimer that converts L-histidine to histamine in a pyridoxal phosphate dependent manner. Histamine regulates several physiologic processes, including neurotransmission, gastric acid secretion,inflamation, and smooth muscle tone.
