Abstract

Abstract Dopa decarboxylase (DDC) protein is involved in the synthesis of dopamine and serotonin. Here, we show that in the silkworm Bombyx mori, a novel DDC splicing variant is selectively expressed in the brain and subesophageal ganglia. In Drosophila melanogaster, a neuron-specific isoform of DDC is known to be alternatively spliced in a similar manner.
