Background:

TAT (tyrosine aminotransferase) is a 454 amino acid protein that localizes to mitochondria and belongs to the class-I pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family. Existing as a homodimer, TAT uses pyridoxal phosphate as a cofactor to catalyze the conversion of L-tyrosine into p-hydroxyphenylpyruvate, a reaction that is important in amino acid degradation. Defects in the gene encoding TAT are the cause of tyrosinemia type 2 (TYRO2), an inborn error of metabolism that is associated with elevated levels of tyrosine in blood and urine and is characterized by palmoplantar keratosis, painful corneal ulcers and mental retardation. The gene encoding TAT maps to human chromosome 16, which encodes over 900 genes and comprises nearly 3% of the human genome.

Specificity:

TAT polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of TAT protein.
