The protein encoded by this gene is involved in the conversion of tyrosine to dopamine. It is the rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of catecholamines, hence plays a key role in the physiology of adrenergic neurons. Mutations in this gene have been associated with autosomal recessive Segawa syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been noted for this gene.

Catalog No
A0039
Reactivity
Human, Mouse, Rat
Applications
WB, IHC-p, IF(paraffin section), ELISA
Modification
Phospho Specific
Source
Polyclonal Rabbit
Dilution
Western Blot: 1/500 - 1/2000. Immunohistochemistry: 1/100 - 1/300. ELISA: 1/40000. Not yet tested in other applications.
Purification
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen.
The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human Tyrosine Hydroxylase around the phosphorylation site of Ser40. AA range:41-90
Specificity
Phospho-TH (S71) Polyclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of TH protein only when phosphorylated at S71.
Formulation
Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide.
Western blot analysis of lysates from RAW264.7 cells treated with UV 30', using Tyrosine Hydroxylase (Phospho-Ser40) Antibody. The lane on the right is blocked with the phospho peptide.
Immunohistochemistry analysis of paraffin-embedded human brain, using Tyrosine Hydroxylase (Phospho-Ser40) Antibody. The picture on the right is blocked with the phospho peptide.
Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded Human brain. Antibody was diluted at 1:100(4° overnight). High-pressure and temperature Tris-EDTA,pH8.0 was used for antigen retrieval. Negetive contrl (right) obtaned from antibody was pre-absorbed by immunogen peptide.
