Product Overview
Clone ECA-20 is a rabbit monoclonal antibody that recognizes tyrosine 3-monooxygenase (gene TH) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, ICC/IF and flow cytometry. The predicted molecular weight is 58.6 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 55 kDa.
Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) converts L-tyrosine to L-DOPA using tetrahydrobiopterin and oxygen, the rate-limiting step in making dopamine, noradrenaline and adrenaline. It is expressed in catecholaminergic neurons and adrenal chromaffin cells, and its activity is tightly controlled by phosphorylation. TH is the standard marker for dopaminergic neurons and is central to research on Parkinson's disease and the stress response.

Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places tyrosine 3-monooxygenase in the cytoplasm, nucleus and cell projection. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Mainly expressed in the brain and adrenal glands. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
