Gene Information

zebrafish ... th(30384)

General description

Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) is a cytoplasmic enzyme. The TH gene codes for a monooxygenase.

Immunogen

Recombinant protein fragment contain a sequence corresponding to a region within amino acids 111 and 450 of th according to NP_571224

Application

Anti-th antibody produced in rabbit has been used in:
  • western blotting (1:1000)
  • whole retinal flat-mount immunolabelling (1:500)
  • immunofluorescence (2:1000)
  • immunohistochemistry (2:1000)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cell surface-associated protein is implicated in virulence. Promotes bacterial attachment exclusively to the γ-chain of human fibrinogen. Induces formation of bacterial clumps, which diminish the ability of group IIA phospholipase A2 to cause bacterial phospholipid hydrolysis and killing. Significantly decreases macrophage phagocytosis possibly thanks to the clumps, clumped bacteria being too large to be phagocytosed. Dominant factor responsible for human platelet aggregation, which may be an important mechanism for initiating infective endocarditis. Enhances spleen cell proliferative response in vitro, contributing significantly to the immunostimulatory activity of S.aureus.
Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), the rate-limiting enzyme of dopamine synthesis, is essential for catecholamine biosynthesis. Its major role is to catalyze the conversion of L-tyrosine to L-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA). TH mainly serves as marker furcate cholaminergic neurons. Missense mutations in the TH gene are associated with Segawa′s syndrome, L-DOPA responsive infantile Parkinsonism, or L-DOPA responsive dystonia (DRD).

The neurotransmitter serotonin controls a variety of physiological and behavioral processes. In humans, mutations affecting monoamine oxidase (MAO), the serotonin-degrading enzyme, are highly deleterious. Yet, blind cavefish of the species Astyanax mexicanus carry a partial loss-of-function mutation in MAO (P106L)
