The protein encoded by Tyrosine Hydroxylase 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.1) Vazin T, et al. Stem Cells. 2008 Jun;26 (6): 1517-25Pistocchi A, et al.

Immunogen
Tyrosine Hydroxylase (Phospho-Ser40) antibody was raised against a peptide sequence around phosphorylation site of serine 40 (R-Q-S (p) -L-I) derived from Human Tyrosine Hydroxylase (TH).
