SDS-denatured, native rat tyrosine hydroxylase purified from pheochromocytoma. Species sequence homology: chicken
Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of the catecholamines dopamine and norepinephrine. TH antibodies can therefore be used as markers for dopaminergic and noradrenergic neurons in a variety of applications including depression, schizophrenia, Parkinsons disease and drug abuse (Kish et al., 2001, Zhu et al., 2000, Zhu et al., 1999). TH antibodies can also be used to explore basic mechanisms of dopamine and norepinephrine signaling (Witkovsky et al., 2000, Salvatore et al., 2001). Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot, Immunocytochemistry and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications have not been tested. Recommended Dilution: Western Blot: 1:1000 Immunohistochemistry: 1:1000 Immunocytochemistry: 1:1000 Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months after receipt. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
