tag-19 superficially resembles aromatic-L-amino-acid/L-histidine decarboxylases; however, it is distantly related, being no closer to them than to glutamine decarboxylase/sphingosinge lyase (e.g., tag-38, spl-1); tag-19 thus might be termed a Pyridoxal-phosphate (PLP) dependent decarboxylase-like protei, but is missing the absolutely conserved Lys residue of all PLP-DCs (hence the -like would be needed); tag-19 is dispensable in mass RNAi assays.

Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
