    Product Information

    Product Description

    This Cell Signaling Technology® antibody retains the antigen-binding Fab regions of the original parent host sequence from which it is engineered. This antibody is expected to exhibit the same species cross-reactivity as Tyrosine Hydroxylase (E2L6M) Rabbit mAb #58844.

    Product Usage Information

    Application Dilution
    Immunofluorescence (Frozen) 1:50 - 1:200

    Storage

    Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/mL BSA, 50% glycerol, and less than 0.02% sodium azide. Store at –20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody.

    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    Tyrosine Hydroxylase (E2L6M) Horse Chimeric mAb recognizes endogenous levels of total tyrosine hydroxylase protein.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human, Mouse, Rat

    Source / Purification

    This recombinant chimeric antibody is engineered from Tyrosine Hydroxylase (E2L6M) Rabbit mAb #58844 according to animal-free protocols. The chimeric antibody retains its antigen-binding Fab regions from the original rabbit monoclonal antibody but contains a horse-derived Fc domain. When multiplexing, Fc-directed rabbit secondaries are required to detect rabbit-host primary antibodies.

    The parent antibody, Tyrosine Hydroxylase (E2L6M) Rabbit mAb #58844, is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the carboxy terminus of human tyrosine hydroxylase protein.

    Background

    Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) catalyzes the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of the neurotransmitter dopamine and other catecholamines. TH functions as a tetramer, with each subunit composed of a regulatory and catalytic domain, and exists in several different isoforms (1,2). This enzyme is required for embryonic development since TH knockout mice die before or at birth (3). Levels of transcription, translation and post-translational modification regulate TH activity. The amino-terminal regulatory domain contains three serine residues: Ser9, Ser31, and Ser40. Phosphorylation at Ser40 by PKA positively regulates the catalytic activity of TH (4-6). Phosphorylation at Ser31 by CDK5 also increases the catalytic activity of TH through stabilization of TH protein levels (7-9).
