HDC Polyclonal Antibody, 50ul Plasmid Preparation A pseudogene of this gene

A pseudogene of this gene has been defined on chromosome 5

but with distinct 3' ends

It mediates platelet adhesion via binding fibrinogen

TAS2R16 is clustered with another 3 candidate taste receptor genes in chromosome 7 and is genetically linked to loci that influence bitter perception

HDC Polyclonal Antibody, 50ul Plasmid Preparation A pseudogene of this geneHDC 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.
