Scientific Data Images for Tyrosine Hydroxylase [p Ser40] Antibody
Tyrosine Hydroxylase [p Ser40] Antibody [NB300-173] - Western blot of recombinant phospho-TH and non-phospho-TH showing selective immunolabeling by the phosphospecific antibody of the ~60 kDa TH phosphorylated at Ser40. The pan-specific antibody (anti-pan-TH) recognized both the phospho- and non-phospho-TH; while most importantly, the phospho-specific antibody (anti-Ser40 TH) recognized only phospho-TH.

Immunohistochemistry: Tyrosine Hydroxylase [p Ser40] Antibody [NB300-173] - Immunohistochemical staining of retina with the pan-tyrosine hydroxylase (pan-TH) and phospho-specific tyrosine hydroxylase (phospho-TH) antibodies. The pan-TH antibody shows extensive labeling in this photomicrograph of the retina. In contrast, the phospho-TH antibody selectively labels only the two amacrine cells in this light-stimulated retina example.Applications for Tyrosine Hydroxylase [p Ser40] Antibody

Background: Tyrosine Hydroxylase
Two transcription factor binding sites in the proximal region of the TH gene, the TPA-responsive element (TRE) and the c-AMP responsive element (CRE), have been implicated in the complex regulation of the TH gene. Dysregulation of breakdown for the amino acid, tyrosine, by TH is a result of a genetic disorder that results in Tyrosinemia (high levels of tyrosine in the blood, tissue and organs).
Tyrosine hydroxylase deficiency is a disorder that primarily affects movement, where individuals display symptoms that include lack of coordination when walking, postural tremors and unusual body positioning. TH deficient dopamine-responsive dystonia (DRD), also known as Segawa syndrome, is a rare genetic disorder that is associated with low levels of TH and is diagnosed during childhood with characteristic symptoms including increased muscle tone (dystonia) and signs of Parkinsonism like bradykinesia, tremors, rigidity and postural instability (2). Correspondingly, TH is also linked to Parkinson's disease in older adults, where low dopamine levels are a consistent neurochemical abnormality. Functional polymorphisms of the TH gene may be involved in the pathogenesis of neuropsychiatric diseases such as schizophrenia and other affective disorders where dopamine is often dysregulated (3).
