Biochem/physiol Actions

Neurotrophins (NT) are growth factors that are essential for the development and maintenance of the nervous system. One of the receptors that mediate the effects of NTs is the Nerve Growth Factor Receptor/TNFRSF16 (p75NGFR, p75NTR). NGFR mediates the effects of NGF that are important in the survival and differentiation of neurons and neural crest-derived cells, during embryonic and early postnatal development. Expression of NGFR has been associated with favorable prognosis and survival in breast and pancreatic cancers.

Nerve Growth Factor Receptor (NGFR) p75 enhances the NGF binding affinity of the proto-oncogene product p140trk and also may modulate the kinase activity of p140trk and play a role in signal transduction. Specifically, neurotrophin binding to NGFR p75 stimulates generation of ceramide, activation and translocation of nuclear factor- κ (NF-κB) to the nucleus, and enhancement of Jun kinase (JNK) activity.

General description

Recognizes the low affinity human NGFR p75 (also known as gp75^NGFR , p75^NGFR and p75^NTR). The epitope recognized by the antibody exists within the third or fourth cysteine-rich repeats of the NGFR molecule.

Monoclonal Anti-Nerve Growth Factor Receptor (NGFR p75) (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the ME20.4 hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from a BALB/c mouse immunized with a human melanoma cell line WM245. The human NGFR p75 has a hydrophobic signal sequence, a single N-linked glycosylation site, four cysteine-rich repeat units of approximately 40 amino acids in the extracellular domain, a serine- and threonine-rich region which might be O-linked glycosylated, a single transmembrane domain, and a 155-amino acid cytoplasmic domain.

Immunogen

human melanoma cell line WM245.

Physical form

The product is supplied as ascites fluid with 15 mM sodium azide as a preservative.

Specificity

Monoclonal Anti-Nerve Growth Factor Receptor (NGFR p75) recognizes the low affinity NGFR p75 of human origin (75 kDa), also known as gp75^NGFR, p75^NGFR and p75^NTR .The epitope recognized by the antibody is located within the third or fourth cysteine-rich repeats of the NGFR molecule. Cross-reactivity has been observed with human, monkey (marmoset), pig, cat and raccoon , but not with rat, chicken or mouse NGFR.

Storage and Stability

For continuous use, store at 2-8 °C for up to one month. For extended storage, freeze in working aliquots. Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Storage in "frost-free" freezers is not recommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolonged storage, clarify the solution by centrifugation before use. Working dilution samples should be discarded if not used within 12 hours.
