| Description | Bovine Tyrosine 3-monooxygenase (TH) ELISA Kit has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Bovine TH. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Bovine TH and analogues was observed. Tyrosine hydroxylase or tyrosine 3-monooxygenase is the enzyme responsible for catalyzing the conversion of the amino acid L-tyrosine to L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA). It does so using molecular oxygen (O2), as well as iron (Fe2+) and tetrahydrobiopterin as cofactors. L-DOPA is a precursor for dopamine, which, in turn, is a precursor for the important neurotransmitters norepinephrine (noradrenaline) and epinephrine (adrenaline). Tyrosine hydroxylase catalyzes the rate limiting step in this synthesis of catecholamines. In humans, tyrosine hydroxylase is encoded by the TH gene, and the enzyme is present in the central nervous system (CNS), peripheral sympathetic neurons and the adrenal medulla. Tyrosine hydroxylase, phenylalanine hydroxylase and tryptophan hydroxylase together make up the family of aromatic amino acid hydroxylases (AAAHs). This Bovine Tyrosine 3-monooxygenase (TH) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate TH in samples. An antibody specific for TH has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyTH present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for TH is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of TH bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured. |
