Summary
Predicted to enable tyrosine 3-monooxygenase activity. Involved in several processes, including adult chitin-containing cuticle pigmentation; regulation of epithelial cell migration, open tracheal system; and thermosensory behavior. Predicted to be active in axon; cytoplasm; and perikaryon. Is expressed in several structures, including adult brain; presumptive embryonic/larval system; serotonergic neurons; supraesophageal ganglion; and thoracic neurons. Used to study Parkinson's disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Parkinson's disease; Parkinsonism; hypertension; and obesity. Orthologous to human TH (tyrosine hydroxylase).
