Abstract excerpt
Tyrosine hydroxylase requires the regulatory cofactor, tetrahydrobiopterin, for catecholamine biosynthesis. Because guanosine triphosphate cyclohydrolase I is the rate limiting enzyme for the synthesis of this cofactor, it has a key role in catecholamine production. We show that GTP cyclohydrolase and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) are co-localized in the Drosophila central nervous system. Mutations in the Punch...
