Description

General description

Tyrosine 3-monooxygenase (EC 1.14.16.2; UniProt P07101; also known as Dystonia 14, TH, Tyrosine 3-hydroxylase) is encoded by the TH (also known as DYT14, DYT5b, TYH) gene (Gene ID 7054) in human. Tyrosine hydroxylase plays an important role in the physiology of adrenergic neurons. It is the first and rate-limiting enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of dopamine and norepinephrine from tyrosine. TH is, therefore, a useful marker for dopaminergic and noradrenergic neurons. TH enzymatic activity requires ferrous ions as cofactor and is believed to be regulated by phosphorylation. Six isoforms of human TH exist as a result of alternative splicing (UniProt P07101-1 through P07101-6).

Specificity

Recognizes an epitope on the outside of the regulatory N-terminus. The unconjugated antibody (Cat. No. MAB318) recognizes a protein of approximately 59-61 kDa by Western blotting. The unconjugated antibody does not react with the following by Western blotting: dopamine-beta-hydroxylase, phenylalanine hydroxylase, trytophan hydroxylase, dehydropteridine reductase, sepiapterin reductase or phenethanolamine-N-methyl transferase (PNMT).
