Answer:

Metabolism of levodopa and dopamine may proceed by four pathways: decarboxylation, O-methylation, transamination, and oxidation. Levodopa is decarboxylated to dopamine by the enzyme AAAD. This enzyme is ubiquitously distributed in the gut, liver, and kidney. The gastric and intestinal wall contains AAAD that significantly metabolizes levodopa
