Opis

General description

56-60 kDa

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.

Immunogen

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

Application

Immunohistochemistry:
1:100-1:500. A previous lot of this antibody was used in immunohistochemistry.

Western blot:
1:1000-1:2000

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.

Neuronal & Glial Markers

This Anti-Tyrosine Hydroxylase Antibody, clone 2/40/15 is validated for use in IH, WB for the detection of Tyrosine Hydroxylase.

Biochem/physiol Actions

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.
