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

Anti-Tyrosine Hydroxylase Antibody, phosphoSer 40 detects level of Tyrosine Hydroxylase & has been published & validated for use in IC, IH & WB.
Immunohistochemistry:
A 1:1,000 dilution of a previous lot was used in IH.

Immunocytochemistry:
A 1:1,000 dilution of a previous lot was used in IC.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.
