Anti-Dopamine Beta Hydroxylase antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the DBH gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 617 amino acid residues and a mass of 69.1 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cytoplasm. A member of the Copper type II ascorbate-dependent monooxygenase protein family, it is known to be involved with chemical synaptic transmission and carbohydrate metabolism and homeostasis. Post-translational modifications have been described, including N-glycosylation and protein cleavage. Other names for this target antigen include ORTHYP1, dopamine beta-hydroxylase (dopamine beta-monooxygenase), and DBM.
