Abstract excerpt
Dopamine (DA) is a critical regulator of physiological functions and adaptive behavior. The enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) catalyzes hydroxylation of L-tyrosine to 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA), which is the first and rate-limiting step in the DA biosynthesis. Mutations in the human TH gene have been linked to dystonia, catalepsy, and catatonia. In the present study, we examined how the functional mutation...
