Invitrogen™ TrkA Polyclonal Antibody

Descripción

Reconstitute in 100 μL of sterile water. Centrifuge to remove any insoluble material. After reconstitution keep aliquots at -20 °C for a higher stability, and at 4 °C with an appropriate antibacterial agent. Glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid repetitive freeze/thaw cycles.

NTRK1 (TRKA) belongs to the neurotrophic factor family of related polypeptides central to the development and maintenance of the mammalian nervous system. TrkA is a membrane-bound receptor that, upon neurotrophin binding, phosphorylates itself and members of the MAPK pathway. The presence of TrkA leads to cell differentiation and may play a role in specifying sensory neuron subtypes. Mutations in TrkA have been associated with congenital insensitivity to pain, anhidrosis, self-mutilating behavior, mental retardation and cancer.
