other info2 :

Species Reactivity Note: The antibody recognizes all mammalian and at least some non-mammalian forms of the enzyme in Western blots and in IHC/IF. Biological Significance: Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of the catecholamines dopamine and norepinephrine. TH antibodies can therefore be used as markers for dopaminergic and noradrenergic neurons in a variety of applications including depression, schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease and drug abuse (Kish et al., 2001; Zhu et al., 2000; Zhu et al., 1999). TH antibodies can also be used to explore basic mechanisms of dopamine and norepinephrine signaling (Witkovsky et al., 2000; Salvatore et al., 2001; Dunkley et al., 2004).

ncbi summary :

catalyzes the rate limiting step in catecholamine biosynthesis; may be involved in response to hypoxia [RGD, Feb 2006]

uniprot summary :

Function: Plays an important role in the physiology of adrenergic neurons. Catalytic activity: L-tyrosine + tetrahydrobiopterin + O2 = L-dopa + 4a-hydroxytetrahydrobiopterin. Cofactor: Fe2+ ion. Enzyme regulation: Phosphorylation leads to an increase in the catalytic activity. Pathway: Catecholamine biosynthesis; dopamine biosynthesis; dopamine from L-tyrosine: step 1/2. Subunit structure: Homotetramer. Post-translational modification: In vitro, phosphorylation of Ser-19 increases the rate of Ser-40 phosphorylation, which results in enzyme opening and activation. Sequence similarities: Belongs to the biopterin-dependent aromatic amino acid hydroxylase family.
