General description

NT-3 (neurotrophin-3) is a member of the family of trophic factors, called neurotrophins. This family also includes NGF (nerve growth factor), BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor), and NT-4. NT-3 is the most abundantly expressed neurotrophin during early development.
Murine NT-3 produced from Escherichia coli contains 119 amino acid and having a molecular mass is 13.6kDa.

Application

NT-3 (neurotrophin-3) has been used for the ex vivo treatment of skin punches obtained from rat and human samples.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Study in mice show that NT-3 (neurotrophin-3), along with BDNF (brain-derived neurotrohpic factor), is essential for inner ear development. In vitro motor, enteric, primary sensory, sympathetic, locus coeruleus, cerebellar and hippocampal neurons are responsive to NT-3. Mice null for NT-3 show significant deficiency in sympathetic and sensory nerve populations. In mice, post birth up-regulation of NT-3 induces a second wave of dopaminergic amacrine cell genesis.

The bone encasing the inner ear, known as the otic capsule, is unique because it remodels little postnatally compared to other bones in the body. Previous studies established that osteoprotegerin (OPG) in the inner ear inhibits otic capsule remodeling. OPG
