Tyrosine Hydroxylase
ABOUT THIS ANTIBODY
Tyrosine Hydroxylase is an enzyme that catalyses the convertion of L-tyrosine to L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine(L-DOPA) which is the precursor for the neurotransmitter dopamine. anti-TH labels dopaminergic neurons in the olfactory bulb, subpallium, preotic area, posterior tuberculum and locus coeruleus.
