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. We raised this polyclonal antibody against a peptide representing the sequence around Ser19 in rat TH purified. This antibody is suitable for most immunochemical applications in a variety of mammalian and some non-mammalian species.1) Witkovsky, P., Gabriel, R., Haycock, J.

Immunogen
TH (Ser31) polyclonal antibody was raised against a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to amino acids residues surrounding the phospho-Ser31 of rat tyrosine hydroxylase (TH).

Tested Applications
IFIHCWB
Applications include Dot Blots (DB), Immunoblotting (IB), Immunofluorescence (IF), Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western Blots (WB). Mouse and rat have 100% amino acid sequence identity with the antigen used to raise the antibody. When internally tested under ideal conditions the working dilutions were 1:1000 for IF, IHC, DB and WB.:

Storage Instructions
For long term storage –80˚C is recommended, but shorter term storage at –20˚C is also acceptable as aliquots may be taken without freeze/thawing due to the presence of 50% glycerol. Stable for one year.
Storage Buffer
100 uL in 10 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 ug per mL BSA and 50% glycerol.
