General description
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 the catecholamines Dopamine and Norepinephrine from tyrosine. TH is, therefore, a useful marker for dopaminergic and noradrenergic neurons. The enzymatic activity of TH requires ferrous ions as cofactors and is believed to be regulated by phosphorylation. At least four isoforms of human TH have been identified which result from alternative splicing.
Specificity
Other species have not been tested.
Tyrosine Hydroxylase, phosphoSer40. The antibody recognizes a protein of 60 kDa corresponding to TH phosphorylated at Ser40. Depending on brain region being studied, protein loads and detection methods used some higher molecular weight bands may be detected.
Immunogen
Epitope: phospho-Ser40
Synthetic peptide from the phosphoSer40 of rat Tyrosine Hydroxylase.
Application
