Tyrosine hydroxylase from brain homogenates differed from tyrosine hydroxylase from adrenal homogenates in being particle-bound, insensitive to cofactors, possessing a lower Michaelis constant for tyrosine, and being responsive to slightly different optimum conditions of pH and buffer. The combination of 0.02 [image] mercaptoethanol and 0.1-1.0 m[image] 2-amino-4-hydroxy-6,7-dimethyltetrahydropteridine (DMPH4) increase tyrosine hydroxylase activity in beef adrenal homogenates 15-fold, but was without effecton activity in rat brain homogenates. The Km for tyrosine in beef adrenal homogenates was 4 x 105 [image], and in rat brain homogenates was 0.45 x 105 [image], Conversion in beef adrenal homogenates was maximum in 0.6 [image] sodium acetate buffer, pH 6.0, and in rat brain homogenates was maximum in 0.28 [image] phosphate buffer, pH 6.2.
