Tyrosine Hydroxylase Protein, Human (sf9, His)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

Tyrosine hydroxylase is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of catecholamines, catalyzing the conversion of L-tyrosine into L-dopa, which is the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. Tyrosine is hydroxylated using tetrahydrobiopterin and oxygen. Tyrosine Hydroxylase Protein, Human (sf9, His) is the recombinant human-derived Tyrosine Hydroxylase protein, expressed by Sf9 insect cells , with N-His labeled tag.

Biological Activity

Description

Tyrosine hydroxylase is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of catecholamines, catalyzing the conversion of L-tyrosine into L-dopa, which is the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. Tyrosine is hydroxylated using tetrahydrobiopterin and oxygen. Tyrosine Hydroxylase Protein, Human (sf9, His) is the recombinant human-derived Tyrosine Hydroxylase protein, expressed by Sf9 insect cells , with N-His labeled tag.

Background

Tyrosine Hydroxylase, a pivotal enzyme in the biosynthesis of catecholamines, facilitates the conversion of L-tyrosine to L-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-Dopa), representing the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of neurotransmitters such as dopamine, noradrenaline, and adrenaline. Utilizing tetrahydrobiopterin and molecular oxygen, the enzyme orchestrates the hydroxylation of tyrosine to form L-Dopa, a critical precursor in catecholamine biosynthesis. While tyrosine is its primary substrate, the enzyme exhibits a broader substrate range, catalyzing the hydroxylation of phenylalanine and tryptophan with lower specificity. Moreover, Tyrosine Hydroxylase contributes to the positive regulation of the regression of retinal hyaloid vessels during postnatal development. Despite its central role in catecholamine synthesis, it is worth noting that the discussed instance of Tyrosine Hydroxylase lacks catalytic activity.
