Aromatic amino acid decarboxylase AAAD

Precursor, converted to DA by aromatic amino acid decarboxylase (AAAD, dopa-decarboxy-lase)—usually given with carbidopa, which inhibits peripheral AAAD and increases CNS availability of L-dopa (carbidopa does not cross the blood-brain barrier [BBB]). [Pg.162]
