Also known as DBM
Summary
DBH (dopamine beta-hydroxylase, HGNC:2689) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 9q34.2, encoding Dopamine beta-hydroxylase (P09172). Catalyzes the hydroxylation of dopamine to noradrenaline (also known as norepinephrine), and is thus vital for regulation of these neurotransmitters.
The protein encoded by this gene is an oxidoreductase belonging to the copper type II, ascorbate-dependent monooxygenase family. The encoded protein, expressed in neuroscretory vesicles and chromaffin granules of the adrenal medulla, catalyzes the conversion of dopamine to norepinephrine, which functions as both a hormone and as the main neurotransmitter of the sympathetic nervous system. The enzyme encoded by this gene exists exists in both soluble and membrane-bound forms, depending on the absence or presence, respectively, of a signal peptide. Mutations in this gene cause dopamine beta-hydroxylate deficiency in human patients, characterized by deficits in autonomic and cardiovascular function, including hypotension and ptosis. Polymorphisms in this gene may play a role in a variety of psychiatric disorders.

Function. Catalyzes the hydroxylation of dopamine to noradrenaline (also known as norepinephrine), and is thus vital for regulation of these neurotransmitters.
Subunit / interactions. Homotetramer; composed of two disulfide-linked dimers.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasmic vesicle. Secretory vesicle lumen. Secretory vesicle. Chromaffin granule lumen. Secreted Cytoplasmic vesicle. Secretory vesicle membrane. Chromaffin granule membrane.
Post-translational modifications. N-glycosylated. Proteolytic cleavage after the membrane-anchor leads to the release of the soluble form.
Disease relevance. Orthostatic hypotension 1 (ORTHYP1) [MIM:223360] A form of orthostatic hypotension due to congenital dopamine beta-hydroxylase deficiency. Orthostatic hypotension, also known as postural hypotension, is a finding defined as a 20-mm Hg decrease in systolic pressure or a 10-mm Hg decrease in diastolic pressure occurring 3 minutes after a person has risen from supine to standing. Symptoms include dizziness, blurred vision, and sometimes syncope. ORTHYP1 is an autosomal recessive condition apparent from infancy or early childhood and characterized by low plasma and urinary levels of norepinephrine and epinephrine, and episodic hypoglycemia. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Cofactor. Binds 2 copper ions per subunit.
Induction. Activity is enhanced by nerve growth factor (in superior cervical ganglia and adrenal medulla). Trans-synaptic stimulation with reserpine, acetylcholine and glucocorticoids.
Pathway. Catecholamine biosynthesis; (R)-noradrenaline biosynthesis; (R)-noradrenaline from dopamine: step 1/1.
Polymorphism. There are two main alleles of DBH: DBH-A with Ala-318 and DBH-B with Ser-318.
Similarity. Belongs to the copper type II ascorbate-dependent monooxygenase family.
