Our Anti-Tyrosine Hydroxylase sheep polyclonal primary antibody from PhosphoSolutions is produced in-house. It detects all mammalian Tyrosine Hydroxylase and is antigen affinity purified from pooled serum. It is great for use in WB, IHC, ICC.
Immunostaining of free-floating sections of mouse locus ceruleus (brainstem) labeling tyrosine hydroxylase (Cat no 2027-THSHP, red, 1:2000) The mouse was transcardially perfused with 20 mL of PBS containing 0.1% procaine and 100 U/mL heparin followed by 20 mL of 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) in PBS. The dissected brains were kept in fixative at 4 °C overnight. The image was kindly provided by Eugene Dimitrov, Department of Physiology and Biophysics, Rosalind Franklin University.
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, Parkinson’s 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).
