ZooMAb antibodies represent an entirely new generation of recombinant monoclonal antibodies.

Each ZooMAb antibody is manufactured using our proprietary recombinant expression system, purified to homogeneity, and precisely dispensed to produce robust and highly reproducible lot-to-lot consistency. Only top-performing clones are released for use by researchers. Each antibody is validated for high specificity and affinity across multiple applications, including its most commonly used application. ZooMAb antibodies are reliably available and ready to ship when you need them.

Target description

Tyrosine 3-monooxygenase (UniProt: P04177; also known as EC: 1.14.62.2, Tyrosine 3-hydroxylase, TH) is encoded by the Th gene (Gene ID: 25085) in rat. Tyrosine hydroxylase acts as a rate-limiting enzyme of catecholamine biosynthesis. It hydroxylates tyrosine to L-DOPA and then L- DOPA is converted to dopamine by aromatic amino acid decarboxylase. Tyrosine hydroxylase requires tetrahydrobiopterin and molecular oxygen to convert tyrosine to DOPA. Its activity is regulated by phosphorylation at four different serine residues by multiple protein kinases. The N-terminal region of tyrosine hydroxylase plays a critical role in controlling its catalytic activity. Its catalytic domain is located in the C-terminal region and binds the substrates and the cofactor. Its activity is inhibited by a feedback mechanism by catecholamines. Dopamine is shown to bind to tyrosine hydroxylase competitively with tetrahydrobiopterin and interacts with the regulatory domain. Tyrosine hydroxylase activity can be modified in the presence of nitric oxide that results in nitration of tyrosine residues. Tyrosine hydroxylase deficiency leads to impaired synthesis of dopamine as well as epinephrine and norepinephrine and significantly reduced tyrosine hydroxylase activity and dopamine levels are reported in the brain of Parkinson s disease subjects. This ZooMAb recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals. (Ref.: Daubner SC et al., (2011). Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 508(1): 1-12).

Physical form
