products description :
Intended Uses: This TH ELISA kit is a 1.5 hour solid-phase ELISA designed for the quantitative determination of Rat TH. This ELISA kit for research use only, not for therapeutic or diagnostic applications!. Principle of the Assay: TH ELISA kit applies the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique utilizing a monoclonal anti-TH antibody and an TH-HRP conjugate. The assay sample and buffer are incubated together with TH-HRP conjugate in pre-coated plate for one hour. After the incubation period, the wells are decanted and washed five times. The wells are then incubated with a substrate for HRP enzyme. The product of the enzyme-substrate reaction forms a blue colored complex. Finally, a stop solution is added to stop the reaction, which will then turn the solution yellow. The intensity of color is measured spectrophotometrically at 450nm in a microplate reader. The intensity of the color is inversely proportional to the TH concentration since TH from samples and TH-HRP conjugate compete for the anti-TH antibody binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are occupied by TH from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind TH-HRP conjugate. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The TH concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.

ncbi summary :
The protein encoded by this gene is involved in the conversion of tyrosine to dopamine. It is the rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of catecholamines, hence plays a key role in the physiology of adrenergic neurons. Mutations in this gene have been associated with autosomal recessive Segawa syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been noted for this gene.
