Summary: Enables copper ion binding activity and dopamine beta-monooxygenase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to manganese ion; cellular response to nicotine; and norepinephrine biosynthetic process. Located in several cellular components, including axon; dendrite; and neuronal cell body. Biomarker of brain ischemia; depressive disorder; hypertension; and portal hypertension. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including alcohol use disorder; attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; dopamine beta-hydroxylase deficiency; hypertension; and migraine with aura.

Study revealed age-related changes in tyrosine hydroxylase and DBH immunoreactivities in the carotid body glomus cells of spontaneously hypertensive (SHR/Izm) and Wistar Kyoto (WKY/Izm) rats at 4, 8, 12, and 16 weeks of age using immunohistochemistry. DBH age-dependently increased in the glomus cells of SHR/Izm in contrast to WKY/Izm.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
