General description

Nerve growth factor (NGF) belongs to the family of neurotrophic factors. It is located at 1p13.2 on the human chromosome. There are two molecular forms of NGF, 7S NGF and 2.5S NGF, that have identical neurotrophic effect on neurons.

Specificity

May be used in monitoring for NGF (2.5S, β and 7S).

Immunogen

NGF-2.5S from male mouse submaxillary glands.

Application

Anti-Nerve Growth Factor 2.5S antibody may be used for immunoblotting and dot blot at a minimum antibody working dilution of 1:2000. Antibody dilution of 1:1000 was used for immunoblotting using extracts of nucleus raphe magus tissue of rats. The antibody was used for immunofluorescence of mouse astrocytes and for neutralization assays.
Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below.
Immunofluorescence (1 paper)
Western Blotting (1 paper)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Mutations in this gene leads to hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathies class five (HSAN-V).

Physical form

Solution in phosphate buffered saline.

It is considered that two molecular forms of nerve growth factor (NGF), that is 7S NGF and 2.5S NGF have the identical neurotrophic effect on neurons. We now report that 7S NGF has different biological activities from 2.5S NGF in

Previous studies demonstrated that interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and nerve growth factor (NGF) increase synthesis of substance P (SP) in airway neurons both after ozone (O3) exposure and by direct application. It was postulated that NGF mediates O3-induced IL-1β effects on SP.
