Dopamine β-hydroxylase (also known as dopamine beta-hydroxylase or dopamine beta-monooxygenase) is an enzyme that is encoded by the DBH gene in humans. Noradrenaline, dehydroascorbate, and water are the three end products of the chemical reaction that dopamine β-monooxygenase catalyzes with the three substrates 3,4-dihydroxyphenethylamine, ascorbate, and oxygen. The oxidoreductase family, specifically those acting on paired donors with O2 as the oxidant and incorporation or reduction of oxygen, includes dopamine β-hydroxylase.
Tyrosine metabolism is aided by dopamine β-hydroxylase. Copper, PQQ, and fumarate are the three cofactors of dopamine β-hydroxylase. The pathway for the biosynthesis of catecholamines includes dopamine β-hydroxylase. The decision-making process, addictive behaviors like alcohol and smoking, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, as well as neurological diseases like schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease have all been linked to dopamine β-hydroxylase.
