Rat Tyrosine Hydroxylase (TH) ELISA Kit

Neuroscience laboratories studying rat models of catecholamine signaling require sensitive quantification of tyrosine hydroxylase, the rate-limiting enzyme in dopamine and norepinephrine biosynthesis. This ELISA kit from Assay Genie delivers a microplate-based detection workflow for measuring the enzyme in tissue homogenates and cell lysates prepared from rat specimens.

Tyrosine hydroxylase serves as a marker for dopaminergic and noradrenergic neurons, supporting studies of Parkinson's disease mechanisms, neurotoxicology, stress axis activation, and pharmacological modulation of monoaminergic pathways. Researchers can apply the assay across in vitro investigations, including cultured neuronal cell experiments and brain tissue microdissection workflows, to monitor enzyme expression under varied experimental conditions.

The kit is supplied with all reagents necessary to perform the ELISA, and components should be stored refrigerated upon arrival to maintain reagent stability across multiple experimental runs. The colorimetric readout integrates with standard laboratory microplate readers, enabling data acquisition without specialized instrumentation beyond what is commonly available in neuroscience and cell biology facilities.

Intended for research use only, the kit supports investigators exploring locus coeruleus function, addiction biology, attention-deficit and hyperactivity models, and the broader molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric conditions in rat systems.
