Specificity / Sensitivity
Tyrosine Hydroxylase (E2L6M) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total tyrosine hydroxylase protein.
Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the carboxy terminus of human tyrosine hydroxylase protein.
Background
Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) catalyzes the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of the neurotransmitter dopamine and other catecholamines. TH functions as a tetramer, with each subunit composed of a regulatory and catalytic domain, and exists in several different isoforms (1,2). This enzyme is required for embryonic development since TH knockout mice die before or at birth (3). Levels of transcription, translation and post-translational modification regulate TH activity. The amino-terminal regulatory domain contains three serine residues: Ser9, Ser31, and Ser40. Phosphorylation at Ser40 by PKA positively regulates the catalytic activity of TH (4-6). Phosphorylation at Ser31 by CDK5 also increases the catalytic activity of TH through stabilization of TH protein levels (7-9).
