UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: Q9W369 (Q9W369)
Gene Name:
t
Organism: Drosophila melanogaster (Fruit fly)
Function: In the cuticle, catalyzes the hydrolysis of beta-alanyl-dopamine releasing dopamine and beta-alanine; dopamine is a metabolite involved in the pigmentation and sclerotization of the insect cuticle (PubMed:16299587, PubMed:20439462, PubMed:21571070, PubMed:8580497). In the photoreceptor cells, catalyzes the hydrolysis of carcinine releasing histamine and beta-alanine contributing to the recycling of the neurotransmitter histamine in the optical nerve system (PubMed:12486147, PubMed:16299587, PubMed:20439462, PubMed:5782111). Also, regulates the cuticular hydrocarbon composition in females (PubMed:31118901)
