UniProtKB description: Catalyzes the decarboxylation of L-tyrosine to produce tyramine (PubMed:30659181). Plays a role in acid resistance since tyramine production via tyrosine decarboxylation appears to provide a cytosolic pH maintenance mechanism that helps the bacterium cope with acid stress such as that encountered in gastrointestinal tract (GIT) environments. Therefore, may contribute to the colonization of the human GIT by E.faecalis (PubMed:25529314).
