Anti-Nerve Growth Factor Receptor Antibody, extracellular, clone 192-IgG

75 kDa

The low affinity NGFR (Nerve growth factor receptor) is a 75kDa membrane-spanning glycoprotein lacking intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity. p75NGFR interacts with TrkA, the high affinity NGF receptor and potentiates TrkA signaling at low NGF concentrations. The p75 receptor binds nerve growth factor, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, neurotrophin-3 and neurotrophin-4 with varying specificities. The p75NGFR plays an important role in neurotrophic factor signaling and has been shown to modulate the susceptibility of selective cellular populations to programmed cell death. It is expressed on many neuronal cells types including many embryonic forms and the receptor can be used to isolate neuronal progenitor cells.

Epitope: Extracellular

n-octoglucoside stabilized proteins containing p75 receptor, which were isolated from plasma membranes of PC-12 cells (Chandler et al., 1984).

Anti-Nerve Growth Factor Receptor Antibody, extracellular, clone 192-IgG is an antibody against Nerve Growth Factor Receptor for use in IC, IH, IP, FUNC & WB.
