Description:
Anti-Tyrosine Hydroxylase
Trade Name:
Chemicon (Millipore)
Specificity:
Tyrosine hydroxylase. By western blot, AB152 selective labels a single band at approximately 62kDa (reduced) corresponding to Tyrosine Hydroxylase. It is expected that the antibody will react with most mammalian and many non-mammalian species. It has been reported that this antibody does not work on paraffin embedded human tissue.
Molecular Weight:
62 kDa
Immunogen:
Denatured tyrosine hydroxylase from rat pheochromocytoma (denatured by sodium dodecyl sulfate).
Background Information:
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.
Species Reactivity:
- Human
- Rat
- Mouse
- Feline
- Ferret
- Squid
- Drosophila
- Mollusk
Species Reactivity Note:
Rat, mouse, ferret, feline, Aplysia (marine mollusc). It is expected that the antibody will react with most mammalian and many non-mammalian species. It has been reported that this antibody does not work on paraffin embedded human tissue.

UniProt Summary:
FUNCTION: SwissProt: P07101 # Plays an important role in the physiology of adrenergic neurons.
COFACTOR: Fe(2+) ion.
SIZE: 528 amino acids; 58524 Da
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Mainly expressed in the brain and adrenal glands.
DISEASE: SwissProt: P07101 # Defects in TH are the cause of autosomal recessive Segawa syndrome [MIM:605407]; also known as DOPA-responsive dystonia. Typically, it begins in childhood or adolescence with progressive difficulty in walking and, in some cases, spasticity. Some cases present with parkinsonian symptoms in infancy and are referred to as autosomal recessive infantile parkinsonism.
SIMILARITY: SwissProt: P07101 ## Belongs to the biopterin-dependent aromatic amino acid hydroxylase family.
