Immunogen | A synthesized peptide derived from human TPH1 |
Description | Tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of serotonin by converting tryptophan to 5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan. Two isoforms of TPH exist: TPH-1 is mainly expressed in the periphery, whereas the expression of TPH-2 is restricted to neuronal cells and the central nervous system. Most of the serotonin found throughout the body is synthesized by TPH-1 in enterochromaffin cells of the gastrointestinal tract. Targeted disruption of the tph1 gene results in low levels of circulating and tissue serotonin. |
Storage Condition and Buffer | Rabbit IgG in phosphate buffered saline , pH 7.4, 150mM NaCl, 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol. Store at +4°C short term. Store at -20°C long term. Avoid freeze / thaw cycle. |
Name | TPH1 |

Synonyms | TPH, TPRH, TRPH |
Function | Oxidizes L-tryptophan to 5-hydroxy-l-tryptophan in the rate- determining step of serotonin biosynthesis. |
Tissue Location | [Isoform 2]: Seems to be less widely expressed than isoform 1. |
