Tryptophan Hydroxylase 1/TPH-1 Protein, Human (His)

The tryptophan hydroxylase 1 (TPH-1) protein is key to serotonin biosynthesis, catalyzing the rate-limiting step: the oxidation of L-tryptophan to 5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan. This enzyme activity is critical for the synthesis of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that affects mood, sleep, and appetite. Tryptophan Hydroxylase 1/TPH-1 Protein, Human (His) is the recombinant human-derived Tryptophan Hydroxylase 1/TPH-1 protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-His labeled tag. The total length of Tryptophan Hydroxylase 1/TPH-1 Protein, Human (His) is 443 a.a., with molecular weight of ~48 kDa.

Tryptophan Hydroxylase 1 (TPH-1) Protein plays a pivotal role in serotonin biosynthesis by catalyzing the rate-determining step, which involves the oxidation of L-tryptophan to 5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan. This enzymatic activity is crucial for the synthesis of serotonin, a neurotransmitter with essential roles in various physiological processes, including mood regulation, sleep, and appetite. TPH-1's ability to convert L-tryptophan to 5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan is a key regulatory step in the serotonin pathway, highlighting its significance in neurotransmitter production and neurotransmission.

The enzyme activity of this recombinant protein is testing in progress, we cannot offer a guarantee yet.
