General annotation (Comments)

Function

Plays an important role in the physiology of adrenergic neurons.

Catalytic activity

L-tyrosine + tetrahydrobiopterin + O2 = 3,4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine + 4a-hydroxytetrahydrobiopterin.

Cofactor

Fe2+ ion.

Enzyme regulation

Phosphorylation leads to an increase in the catalytic activity.

Pathway

Catecholamine biosynthesis; dopamine biosynthesis; dopamine from L-tyrosine: step 1/2.

Tissue specificity

Mainly expressed in the brain and adrenal glands.

Involvement in disease

Defects in TH are the cause of dystonia DOPA-responsive autosomal recessive (ARDRD) [MIM:605407]; also known as autosomal recessive Segawa syndrome. ARDRD is a form of DOPA-responsive dystonia presenting in infancy or early childhood. Dystonia is defined by the presence of sustained involuntary muscle contractions, often leading to abnormal postures. Some cases of ARDRD present with parkinsonian symptoms in infancy. Unlike all other forms of dystonia, it is an eminently treatable condition, due to a favorable response to L-DOPA.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the biopterin-dependent aromatic amino acid hydroxylase family.
