General description

62 kDa
Tyrosine hydroxylase (also know as Tyrosine 3-hydroxylase and Tyrosine 3-monooxygenase) plays an important role in the physiology of adrenergic neurons. It is the first and rate-limiting enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of the catecholamines Dopamine and Norepinephrine from tyrosine. TH is, therefore, a useful marker for dopaminergic and noradrenergic neurons. The enzymatic activity of TH requires ferrous ions as cofactors and is believed to be regulated by phosphorylation. At least four isoforms of human TH have been identified which result from alternative splicing.

Immunogen

Denatured tyrosine hydroxylase from rat pheochromocytoma (denatured by sodium dodecyl sulfate).

Application

Anti-Tyrosine Hydroxylase Antibody detects level of TH and has been published and validated for use in ELISA, IF, IH, IH(P), IP and WB.
Immunohistochemistry:
A previous lot of this antibody was uesd at 1:100-1:1,000 dilution, 4°C, for 1-3 days. Stains both fresh frozen and paraffin embedded tissue samples by indirect immunofluorescence and immunoperoxidase.

Immunofluorescence:
A previous lot of this antibody was used at 1:100-1:1,000 dilution.

Immunoprecipitation:
A previous lot of this antibody was used on Immunoprecipitation.

ELISA:
A previous lot of this antibody was used in ELISA.

Optimal dilutions must be determined by the end user.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Anti-Tyrosine Hydroxylase Antibodies react with most mammalian and many non-mammalian species. It has been reported that this antibody does not work on paraffin-embedded human tissue
Tyrosine hydroxylase. By western blot, AB152 selective labels a single band at approximately 62kDa (reduced) corresponding to Tyrosine Hydroxylase. It is expected that the antibody will react with most mammalian and many non-mammalian species. It has been reported that this antibody does not work on paraffin embedded human tissue.

Physical form

Affinity purified
Purified rabbit polyclonal in buffer containing liquid in 10 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl (pH 7.5), 100 ug/mL BSA and 50% glycerol.

Preparation Note

Maintain frozen at -20ºC to -70ºC in undiluted aliquots for up to 6 months after date of receipt. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Do not store in a self defrosting freezer.

Analysis Note

Control
POSITIVE CONTROL: Brain (corpus striatum, sympathetic nerve terminals) and adrenal glands.
NEGATATIVE CONTROL: Liver.
Routinely evaluated by Western Blot on PC12 lysates.

Western Blot Analysis:
1:1000 dilution of this lot detected tyrosine hydroxylase on 10 μg of PC12 lysates.
