Tryptophan hydroxylase 2 Antibody (PSH04-89)

Immunohistochemistry-Frozen: Tryptophan hydroxylase 2 Antibody (PSH04-89) [NBP3-33037]

Immunohistochemistry-Frozen: Tryptophan hydroxylase 2 Antibody (PSH04-89) [NBP3-33037] - Immunofluorescence analysis of frozen mouse brain (raphe nucleus) tissue with Rabbit anti-Tryptophan hydroxylase 2 antibody (NBP3-33037) at 1/200 dilution.

The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0) for about 2 minutes in microwave oven. The tissues were blocked in 10% negative goat serum for 1 hour at room temperature, washed with PBS, and then probed with the primary antibody (NBP3-33037, green) at 1/200 dilution overnight at 4 ℃, washed with PBS. Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (iFluor™ 488) was used as the secondary antibody at 1/1,000 dilution. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue).

Immunohistochemistry: Tryptophan hydroxylase 2 Antibody (PSH04-89) [NBP3-33037] - Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded mouse brain tissue with Rabbit anti-Tryptophan hydroxylase 2 antibody (NBP3-33037) at 1/500 dilution.

The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris-EDTA buffer (pH 9.0) for 20 minutes. The tissues were blocked in 1% BSA for 20 minutes at room temperature, washed with ddH2O and PBS, and then probed with the primary antibody (NBP3-33037) at 1/500 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature. The detection was performed using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

Background: Tryptophan Hydroxylase 2

Tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) catalyzes the 5-hydroxylation of tryptophan, which is the first step in the biosynthesis of indoleamines (serotonin and melatonin) (Martinez et al., 2001). In mammals, serotonin biosynthesis occurs predominantly in neurons which originate in the Raphe nuclei of the brain, and melatonin synthesis takes place within the pineal gland. Although TPH catalyzes the same reaction within the Raphe nuclei and the pineal gland, TPH activity is rate-limiting for serotonin but not melatonin biosynthesis. Serotonin functions mainly as a neurotransmitter, whereas melatonin is the principal hormone secreted by the pineal gland. The activity of TPH is enhanced by phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) and Ca2+/calmodulin kinase II (CaM K II) (Jiang et al., 2000; Johansen et al., 1996). CaM K II phosphorylates Ser260 which lies within the regulatory domain of TPH (Jiang et al., 2000).
