AHP979 recognises an epitope within the C-terminal region (CT) of Dopamine Beta-Hydroxylase (DBH). DBH is a member of the copper type II, ascorbate-dependent monooxygenase family, which catalyzes the conversion of dopamine to norepinephrine, a key neurotransmitter in the central and peripheral nervous systems.
The effects of DBH plasma levels have been a focus area for both neurological and psychiatric disorders, including Parkinson’s disease, hypertension, depression, schizophrenia, drug abuse and stress.

Where this antibody has not been tested for use in a particular technique this does not necessarily exclude its use in such procedures. Suggested working dilutions are given as a guide only. It is recommended that the user titrates the antibody for use in their own system using appropriate negative/positive controls.
Western Blotting
AHP979 detects a band of approximately 75kDa in human adrenal medulla cell lysates.
Storage
Store at +4oC or at -20oC if preferred.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended.
This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
Shelf Life
12 months from date of despatch.
Antiserum Preparation
Antisera to human Dopamine Beta-Hydroxylase (CT) were raised by repeated immunisations of sheep with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG was prepared from whole serum by affinity chromatography.
