Postnatal development of dopaminergic system is closely related to the development of psychomotor function. Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of dopamine and requires tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) as a cofactor....

5R-L-Erythro-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterin (BH(4)) is an essential cofactor for tyrosine hydroxylase (TH). Recently, a type of dopa-responsive dystonia (DRD) (DYT5, Segawa's disease) was revealed to be caused by dominant mutations of the gene e...

Dopa-responsive dystonia (DRD) is a hereditary dystonia characterized by a childhood onset of fixed dystonic posture with a dramatic and sustained response to relatively low doses of levodopa. DRD is thought to result from striatal dopamine defici...

Monkeys are known to be highly susceptible to 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1, 2, 3, 6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) which produces parkinsonism, as in humans. We have previously reported that only monkeys and humans have multiple isoforms of tyrosine hydroxylase...
