Abstract excerpt
Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) catalyzes hydroxylation of L-tyrosine to L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine, the initial and rate-limiting step in the synthesis of dopamine, noradrenaline, and adrenaline. Mutations in the human TH gene are associated with hereditary motor disorders. The common C886T mutation identified in the mouse Th gene results in the R278H substitution in the enzyme molecule. We investigated the impact...
