TPH2 Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of the pterin-dependent aromatic acid hydroxylase family. The encoded protein catalyzes the first and rate limiting step in the biosynthesis of serotonin, an important hormone and neurotransmitter. Mutations in this gene may be associated with psychiatric diseases such as bipolar affective disorder and major depression. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]
Uniprot Description
TPH2: an enzyme that is rate-limiting in the biosynthesis of serotonin. It catalyzes the biopterin dependent monooxygenation of tryptophan to 5-hydroxytryptophan (5HT), which is subsequently decarboxylated to form the neurotransmitter serotonin. Its expression is limited to a few specialized tissues: raphe neurons, pinealocytes, mast cells, mononuclear leukocytes, beta-cells of the islets of Langerhans, and intestinal and pancreatic enterochromaffin cells. Two alternatively spliced isoforms have been described. Isoform 2 appears to be expressed exclusively in the brain, and is expressed at significantly higher levels in the raphe nuclei than isoform 1.

Product Notes
The Human, Mouse, Rat TPH2 tph2 (Catalog #AAA9500600) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA9500600 ELISA Kit recognizes Human, Mouse, Rat TPH2. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "TPH2, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
