Anti-Tyrosine Hydroxylase Antibody, clone LNC1, Alexa Fluor^™ 555 Conjugate

Tyrosine 3-monooxygenase (EC 1.14.16.2; UniProt P07101; also known as Dystonia 14, TH, Tyrosine 3-hydroxylase) is encoded by the TH (also known as DYT14, DYT5b, TYH) gene (Gene ID 7054) in human. 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 dopamine and norepinephrine from tyrosine. TH is, therefore, a useful marker for dopaminergic and noradrenergic neurons. TH enzymatic activity requires ferrous ions as cofactor and is believed to be regulated by phosphorylation. Six isoforms of human TH exist as a result of alternative splicing (UniProt P07101-1 through P07101-6).

~59-63 kDa observed.
