Abstract excerpt
Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of dopamine (DA), and the regulation of its activity is important for DA homeostasis. In this study, we focused on the modification of TH through a cysteine residue. We found that incubation with N-ethylmaleimide (NEM), a cysteine modification reagent, inactivated TH. The responsible cysteine was identified as Cys176 of human TH with...
