ANTI-TH (C-TERMINAL)

Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 11p15.5. The N-terminal end of the protein plays a vital role in maintaining intracellular stability of the enzyme. Tyrosine hydroxylase is expressed in various tissues such as brain, adrenal medulla, and sympathetically innervated tissues. The enzyme is characterized with a regulatory domain (R), a catalytic domain (C) at N-terminal end, and a coiled-coil domain at the C-terminal end._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ Peptide with sequence CVQDELDTLAHAL, from the C Terminus of the protein sequence according to NP_954986.2; NP_000351.2; NP_954987.2._x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Supplied at 0.5 mg/mL in Tris saline with 0.02% sodium azide and 0.5% bovine serum albumin._x000D_ Disclaimer_x000D_ Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals._x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) specifically catalyzes the hydroxylation of the amino acid L-tyrosine to 3, 4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine (L-DOPA). TH is a rate-limiting enzyme involved in the synthesis of catecholamine, which is involved in several brain functions, such as attention, memory, cognition, and emotion. Phosphorylation of the N-terminal portion of tyrosine hydroxylase controls the degradation of this enzyme by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Alteration in the expression of the gene results in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and point mutation in the gene coding for TH leads to Segawa′s syndrome._x000D_ Features and Benefits_x000D_ Evaluate our antibodies with complete peace of mind.
