Tyrosine hydroxylase inhibitor

Tyrosine hydroxylase inhibitor - any substance that inhibits tyrosine 3 monooxygenase (tyrosine hydroxylase), an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of tyrosine to dihydroxyphenylalanine, a precursor to dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. Inhibition of tyrosine hydroxylase can lead to a depletion of dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain.
