UniProtKB description: Catalyzes the decarboxylation of tryptophan to tryptamine. Tryptamine is a neurotransmitter that induces the release of serotonin, which is suggested to modulate gastrointestinal motility. Therefore, the tryptophan decarboxylase from the gut bacteria Ruminococcus gnavus (strain ATCC 29149 / VPI C7-9) may influence host brain and behavior. Has weak activity with tyrosine and phenylalanine.
