Tryptophan Hydroxylase Antibody | XPS-2030

Tryptophan Hydroxylase Antibody | XPS-2030 | Gentaur UK, US & Europe Distribution

Host: Sheep

Reactivity: Rat

Homology: N/A

Immunogen: TPH polyclonal antibody was raised against recombinant rabbit tryptophan hydroxylase, isolated as inclusion bodies from E.

Research Area: Neuroscience

Tested Application: WB, IHC

Application: Tryptophan Hydroxylase antibody can be used for specific immunolabeling of the ~55k TPH protein in Western blots of human dorsal Raphe nucleus. Applications include Dot Blots (DB) Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western Blots (WB) . The antibody has been used successfully with rat and human brain tissues in blot immunolabeling and immunohistochemical procedures. Based upon the relatively high degree of homology of tryptophan hydroxylase, the antibodies should cross-react with other mammalian species. When internally tested under ideal conditions the working dilutions were 1:1000 for IHC, DB and WB.

User Note: Optimal dilutions for each application to be determined by the researcher.

BACKGROUND: Tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) catalyzes the first step in the biosynthesis of serotonin and melatonin. In mammals, serotonin biosynthesis occurs predominantly in neurons which originate in the raphe nuclei of the brain, and melatonin synthesis takes place within the pineal gland. Although TPH catalyzes the same reaction within the raphe nuclei and the pineal gland, TPH activity is rate-limiting for serotonin but not melatonin biosynthesis..
