Anti-Tyrosine Hydroxylase Antibody, clone 2/40/15

产品说明

一般描述

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.

特异性

Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) catalyzes the rate-determining initial step in the biosynthesis of catecholamines such as dopamine, noradrenaline and adrenaline. Therefore the antibody is used to stain dopaminergeous and adrenergeous neurons as well as the chromaffine tissue of the adrenal medulla. Cell lines such as the PC 12 line, which is derived from a rat pheochromocytoma also, show positive reactions. In immunoblots of adrenal medulla tissue, the antibody recognizes a single protein band in the molecular weight range of 56 - 60 kD.

免疫原

Purified tyrosine hydroxylase (EC 1.14.16.2) from a rat pheochromocytoma (2).
