Gene Information

rat ... Th(25085)

Specificity

Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) catalyzes the rate-determining initial step in the biosynthesis of catecholamines such as dopamine, noradrenaline and adrenaline. Therefore the antibody is used to stain dopaminergeous and adrenergeous neurons as well as the chromaffine tissue of the adrenal medulla. Cell lines such as the PC 12 line, which is derived from a rat pheochromocytoma also, show positive reactions. In immunoblots of adrenal medulla tissue, the antibody recognizes a single protein band in the molecular weight range of 56 - 60 kD.

Immunogen

Purified tyrosine hydroxylase (EC 1.14.16.2) from a rat pheochromocytoma (2).

Application

Anti-Tyrosine Hydroxylase Antibody, clone 2/40/15, Alexa Fluor 488 is an antibody against Tyrosine Hydroxylase for use in IH.
Immunohistochemistry

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.

Tauopathic pathways lead to degenerative changes in Alzheimer's disease and there is evidence that they are also involved in the neurodegenerative pathology of Parkinson's disease [PD]. We have examined tauopathic changes in striatum of the α-synuclein (α-Syn) A53T mutant mouse.

Although clinically distinct diseases, tauopathies and synucleinopathies share a common genesis and mechanisms, leading to overlapping degenerative changes within neurons. In human postmortem striatum of Parkinson's disease (PD) and PD with dementia, we have recently described elevated levels of tauopathy
