Also known as DBM; ORTHYP1

Gene ID: 1621 | Gene type: protein coding

About DBH

Cytogenetic location: 9q34.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 9:133,636,363-133,659,329 (from NCBI)

This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 200 orthologues, 1 paralogue and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Biased expression in adrenal (RPKM 148.5) and liver (RPKM 11.0).

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is an oxidoreductase belonging to the copper type II, ascorbate-dependent monooxygenase family. The encoded protein, expressed in neuroscretory vesicles and chromaffin granules of the adrenal medulla, catalyzes the conversion of dopamine to norepinephrine, which functions as both a hormone and as the main neurotransmitter of the sympathetic nervous system. The Enzyme encoded by this gene exists exists in both soluble and membrane-bound forms, depending on the absence or presence, respectively, of a signal peptide. Mutations in this gene cause dopamine beta-hydroxylate deficiency in human patients, characterized by deficits in autonomic and cardiovascular function, including hypotension and ptosis. Polymorphisms in this gene may play a role in a variety of psychiatric disorders. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]
