Structural highlights
Disease
[TY3H_HUMAN] Autosomal recessive dopa-responsive dystonia. The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. May play a role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson disease (PD). A genome-wide copy number variation analysis has identified a 34 kilobase deletion over the TH gene in a PD patient but not in any controls.[1]
Function
[TY3H_HUMAN] Plays an important role in the physiology of adrenergic neurons.
