tyrosine hydroxylase |
| Gene Summary |
Predicted to enable several functions, including cation binding activity; oxygen binding activity; and tyrosine 3-monooxygenase activity. Involved in eye development and visual perception. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including dopamine biosynthetic process from tyrosine; dopaminergic synaptic transmission; and learning or memory. Located in several cellular components, including axon; perikaryon; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cardiovascular system; eye; genitourinary system; and nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Parkinson's disease; Parkinsonism; heroin dependence; hypertension; and obesity. Orthologous to human TH (tyrosine hydroxylase).
