This allele predisposes one to increased tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) activity, and TH activity serves as a biochemical index of activity of noradrenergic neurons and the adrenal medulla.
Activated forms of pyridoxine, niacin, iron, and tetrahydrobiopterin are cofactors for the enzymes tyrosine hydroxylase and tryptophan 5-hydroxylase, which participate in brain biosynthesis of catecholamines and serotonin.
