Gene Name TH
Uniprot ID TY3H_HUMAN
KEGG Pathway hsa:7054
Protein Family Biopterin-dependent aromatic amino acid hydroxylase family
Protein 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 (PubMed:17391063, PubMed:1680128, PubMed:15287903, PubMed:8528210, Ref.18, PubMed:34922205, PubMed:24753243). In addition to tyrosine, is able to catalyze the hydroxylation of phenylalanine and tryptophan with lower specificity (By similarity). Positively regulates the regression of retinal hyaloid vessels during postnatal development (By similarity).

      Mechanism Description
  • Additive hypotensive effects by the combination of Metyrosine and Fenoldopam 

Recommended Action
      Management Caution is strongly advised during concurrent use. Inpatient monitoring of the heart rate and blood pressure is recommended. Sublingual nitroglycerin has been used safely with fenoldopam.
