Background:  Tyrosine Hydroxylase catalyzes the first step in catecholamine production by converting the amino acid L-tyrosine to the catecholamine precursor L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) using Oxygen, Fe3+, and tetrahydrobiopterin as cofactors.  This first step is the rate limiting step in the catecholamine synthesis pathway. 

In humans, Tyrosine Hydroxylase is found in neurons of the central and peripheral nervous systems and in the cells of the adrenal medulla. 



Methods Overview 

Sandwich ELISA Format 1:  The ELISA micro-strip plate is provided pre-coated with an a monoclonal capture antibody selective to the antigen.  Samples are pre-mixed with provided  biotin-linked detection antibody and streptavidin-HRP solutions, which are then added to the plate and incubated for 60min.  The plate is washed  and color reagents are added, resulting in a reaction with HRP.  A stop solution is applied and the resulting yellow solution is measured at 450nm.

Steps of Sandwich ELISA Format 1
  1. Mix sample, provided biotinylated-detection antibody and provided streptavidin-HRP.
  2. Apply sample and antibody-HRP complex to ELISA plate for 60min at 37oC.  Wash 5 times.
  3. Apply chromogens, incubate, then stop reaction.
