Function

Catalyzes the conversion of L-tyrosine to L-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-Dopa), the rate-limiting step in the biosynthesis of cathecolamines, dopamine, noradrenaline, and adrenaline. Uses tetrahydrobiopterin and molecular oxygen to convert tyrosine to L-Dopa (PubMed:15287903, PubMed:1680128, PubMed:17391063, PubMed:24753243, PubMed:34922205, PubMed:8528210, Ref.18). In addition to tyrosine, is able to catalyze the hydroxylation of phenylalanine and tryptophan with lower specificity (By similarity). Positively regulates the regression of retinal hyaloid vessels during postnatal development (By similarity). Isoform 5. Lacks catalytic activity. Isoform 6. Lacks catalytic activity.

Supplementary info

Activity summary

Tyrosine hydroxylase also known as TH is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of L-tyrosine to L-DOPA. It weighs approximately 60 kDa. You can find this enzyme expressed mainly in the brain adrenal glands and some peripheral tissues. Commonly studied antibodies include anti-tyrosine hydroxylase or anti-TH. It plays a significant role in the catecholamine biosynthesis pathway serving as the rate-limiting step in dopamine synthesis.

Biological function summary

Tyrosine hydroxylase is essential for synthesizing catecholamines including dopamine norepinephrine and epinephrine. This enzyme associates with other components in the catecholamine biosynthetic pathway. It functions as part of a larger complex within certain cells where its action determines levels of important neurotransmitters. These neurotransmitters help regulate numerous central and peripheral nervous system activities.

Pathways

Tyrosine hydroxylase acts as a critical component in both the dopaminergic and adrenergic pathways. In the dopaminergic pathway tyrosine hydroxylase facilitates dopamine production influencing various physiological processes. The enzyme also correlates with ardrd protein in these pathways allowing fine-tuned control of neurotransmitter synthesis. Proteins related to tyrosine hydroxylase in these pathways include aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase which further processes L-DOPA into dopamine.

Associated diseases and disorders

Tyrosine hydroxylase has connections with neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's disease and conditions such as dystonia. Dysfunctional expression or activity of this enzyme can lead to dopamine deficiency contributing to the motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease. In dystonia alterations in tyrosine hydroxylase activity affect neurotransmitter balance influencing muscle coordination. The relationship with ardrd protein highlights tyrosine hydroxylase's role in maintaining neural health and it highlights potential areas for therapeutic intervention.
