Background: Dopamine beta-Hydroxylase

Dopamine beta-Hydroxylase (DBH), also known as dopamine beta-monooxygenase, belongs to the copper type II, ascorbate-dependent monooxygenase family. DBH is found within the neurosecretory vesicles of adrenal medullae and the large dense‑cored synaptic vesicles of the sympathetic nervous system as both membrane‑associated and soluble forms (1, 2). It catalyzes the conversion of dopamine to noradrenaline in sympathetic neurons, making it an important enzyme for catecholamine biosynthesis (3, 4). Mutations in the DBH gene that result in low DBH activity are a cause of noradrenaline deficiency (5). This recombinant human DBH is the secreted, soluble form.
