Function | Catalyzes the conversion of L-tyrosine to L- dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-Dopa), the rate-limiting step in the biosynthesis of cathecolamines, dopamine, noradrenaline, and adrenaline. Uses tetrahydrobiopterin and molecular oxygen to convert tyrosine to L-Dopa (By similarity). In addition to tyrosine, is able to catalyze the hydroxylation of phenylalanine and tryptophan but with lower specificity (PubMed:10933781, PubMed:11922614). Positively regulates the regression of retinal hyaloid vessels during postnatal development (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm, perinuclear region {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P24529}. Nucleus Cell projection, axon {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P24529}. Cytoplasm. Cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle, synaptic vesicle. Note=When phosphorylated at Ser-19 shows a nuclear distribution and when phosphorylated at Ser-31 as well as at Ser-40 shows a cytosolic distribution (PubMed:21392500). Expressed in dopaminergic axons and axon terminals (By similarity) {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P07101, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21392500} |

Background
Tyrosine hydroxylase is involved in the conversion of phenylalanine to dopamine. As the rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of catecholamines, tyrosine hydroxylase has a key role in the physiology of adrenergic neurons. Human TH gene contains 13 primary exons and spans approximately 8 kb. TH is in the 11p15.5 region.
