Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptioncat-2 encodes a tyrosine hydroxylase, the rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of catecholamines, such as dopamine; mutations in cat-2 affect dopamine levels that in turn affect locomotory slowing in response to food; CAT-2 demonstrates tyrosine hydroxylase activity in vitro, and this activity can be regulated, in vitro, by phosphorylation of CAT-2 Ser35 by protein kinase A; CAT-2 activity does not appear, however, to be regulated by other mechanisms, including substrate inhibition or feedback inhibition; cat-2 is expressed in dopaminergic as well as other neurons, male spicules, and male ray neurons.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00003844

Automated_descriptionEnables tyrosine 3-monooxygenase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to amphetamine; dopamine biosynthetic process from tyrosine; and male mating behavior. Located in axon. Expressed in dopaminergic neurons; socket cell; and in male. Used to study several diseases, including amphetamine abuse; cocaine abuse; and nicotine dependence. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Parkinsonism; artery disease (multiple); and obesity. Is an ortholog of human TH (tyrosine hydroxylase).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943
