    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    Phospho-Tyrosine Hydroxylase (Ser40) Antibody detects endogenous levels of tyrosine hydroxylase only when phosphorylated at serine 40.

    Species Reactivity:

    Rat

    The antigen sequence used to produce this antibody shares 100% sequence homology with the species listed here, but reactivity has not been tested or confirmed to work by CST. Use of this product with these species is not covered under our Product Performance Guarantee.

    Species predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology:

    Human, Mouse

    Source / Purification

    Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to the sequence surrounding Ser40 of human tyrosine hydroxylase. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

    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).
