Description
The catecholamine neurotranmitters, dopamine, noradrenaline and adrenaline, are involved in multiple physiological processes and neurological disorders. These three transmitters are synthesized from the amino acid tyrosine in a common pathway that uses five enzymes: tyrosine hydroxylase, aromatic amino acid decarboxylase, dopamine β hydroxylase, pteridine reductase, and phenylethanolamine-N-methyl transferase. Tyrosine hydroxylase, is the rate-limiting enzyme in catecholamine synthesis. It converts tyrosine to L-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA), which is then further converted to give rise to dopamine, noradrenaline and adrenaline. Antibodies against these biosynthetic enzymes have been widely used in the immunohistochemical analysis of catecholaminergic neurons. TOH A1 specifically reacts with rat tyrosine hydroxylase and can be used to identify tyrosine hydroxylase containing catecholaminergic neurons in rat brain.
