Anti-phospho-TrkB (Tyr816) Antibody, clone 2C21 ZooMAb^® Rabbit Monoclonal

BDNF/NT-3 growth factors receptor (UniProt: Q16620; also known as EC:2.7.10.1, GP145-TrkB, Trk-B, Neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor type 2, TrkB tyrosine kinase, Tropomyosin-related kinase B) is encoded by the NTRK2 (also known as TRKB) gene (Gene ID: 4915) in human. TrkB is a single-pass type I membrane protein that is internalized to endosomes upon ligand-binding. It is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-31) that is subsequently cleaved off to generate the mature form that contains an extracellular domain (aa 32-430), a transmembrane domain (aa 431-454), and a cytoplasmic domain (aa 455-822). TrkB is a receptor tyrosine kinase that is involved in the development and maturation of the central and the peripheral nervous systems through regulation of neuron survival, proliferation, migration, differentiation, and synapse formation and plasticity. In the central nervous system, its expression is observed in the cerebral cortex, hippocampus, thalamus, choroid plexus, granular layer of the cerebellum, brain stem, and spinal cord. In the peripheral nervous system, it is expressed in many cranial ganglia, the ophthalmic nerve, the vestibula, and multiple facial structures. Upon ligand-binding, it undergoes homodimerization, autophosphorylation, and activation. It can then recruit, phosphorylate and/or activate several downstream effectors including SHC1, FRS2, SH2B1, SH2B2 and PLCG1 that regulate distinct overlapping signaling cascades. TrkB is also reported to play a role in neutrophin-dependent calcium signaling in glial cells and mediate communication between neurons and glia. Following binding of BDNF to TrkB receptor, Tyrosine 816 is phosphorylated, which allows the binding of phospholipase C gamma and activation of signaling cascade. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to 14 amino acids surrounding phosphotyrosine 816 from the C-terminal region of human TrkB.

Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A 1:100 dilution from a representative lot detected phospho-TrkB (Tyr816) in SH-SY5Y cells and in rat hippocampal cells treated with BDNF.

Peptide Inhibition Assay: Target band detection in lysate from HEK293 cells treated with BDNF (50 ng/mL, 30 min) was prevented by preblocking of a representative lot TrkB peptide phosphorylated on tyrosine 816, but not the corresponding non-phosphopeptide.

Affinity Binding Assay: A representative lot of this antibody bound TrkB peptide phosphorylated on tyrosine 816 with a KD of 3.8 x 10-9 in an affinity binding assay.

Note: Actual optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user as specimens, and experimental conditions may vary with the end user
