Remarks

This antibody is a chimeric antibody based on the monoclonal mouse antibody clone 269E7. The constant regions of the heavy and light chains have been replaced by rabbit specific sequences. Therefore, the antibody can be used with standard anti-rabbit secondary reagents. The antibody has been expressed in mammalian cells.

Background
Tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) is an enzyme that catalyzes the 5-hydroxylation of tryptophan, which is the first step in the biosynthesis of indoleamines (serotonin and melatonin).
Two isoforms TPH 1 and TPH 2 have been described. TPH 1 occurs mainly in tissues that express serotonin in the periphery (skin, gut, pineal gland). TPH 2 is exclusively expressed in neuronal cell types and is the predominant isoform in the central nervous system.
In mammals, serotonin biosynthesis occurs predominantly in neurons which originate in the Raphe nuclei of the brain.
