General description

The mammalian Trk family of receptor tyrosine kinases consists of three principle transmembrane proteins. The receptors can be activated by one or more of four neurotrophins - NGF, BDNF, NT3 and NT4/5. The TrkB family of transmembrane proteins serves as receptors for BDNF and NT-4/5 and these neurotrophins regulate biological responses such as cell survivial, proliferation and differentiation in normal and neoplastic neuronal cells.

Specificity

Other species have not yet been tested. It is expected to react with a wide range of mammalian species, based on the high sequence similarity.
trkB [BDNF/NT-4/5 growth factor receptor; tyrosine kinase receptor B]. The immunogen sequence was chosen to avoid cross reactivity with trkA or trkC.

Immunogen

Extracellular domain of the recombinant mouse receptor expressed in mammalian cells.

Application

Anti-TrkB Antibody is an antibody against TrkB for use in IH.
Immunohistochemistry: 1:3,000. The antibody has been used successfully on rat dorsal root ganglion and trigeminal ganglia in the rat spinal cord (cryostat free-floating sections). Suggested fixative is 4% paraformaldehyde.

Not suitable for Western blot.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.

Physical form

Lyophilized. Reconstitute with 50 μL of sterile distilled water. Centrifuge to remove any insoluble material. Contains no preservative.
Serum

Storage and Stability

Maintain lyophilized material frozen at -20°C to -70°C for up to 12 months after date of receipt. After reconstitution maintain at -20°C in undiluted aliquots for up to 6 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Glycerol (1:1, ACS or better grade) can be added for additional stability.

This study investigated the Trk receptor family as a therapeutic target in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and assessed their prognostic significance. Global gene expression analysis was investigated in prospectively collected pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas that had either undergone neoadjuvant chemoradiation or were

In rodents, the adult subventricular zone (SVZ) generates neuroblasts which migrate to the olfactory bulb (OB) and differentiate into interneurons. Recent work suggests that the neurotrophin Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) can enhance adult SVZ neurogenesis, but the mechanism by which
