PurificationAntibodies were produced by immunizing rabbits with synthetic peptide and KLH conjugates. Antibodies were purified by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific peptide.
ApplicationsIF
Species ReactivityHu
SpecificityThe antibody detects endogenous level of total TrkA protein.
Immunogen TypePeptide-KLH
Immunogen DescriptionPeptide sequence around aa.789~793 (P-V-Y-L-D) derived from Human TrkA.
Target NameTrkA
Alternative NamesHigh affinity nerve growth factor receptor precursor; NTRK1; Slow nerve growth factor receptor; TRK; TRK1 transforming tyrosine kinase protein
Immunofluorescence staining of methanol-fixed Hela cells using TrkA(Ab-791) Antibody #AB21326.
Background
Required for high-affinity binding to nerve growth factor (NGF), neurotrophin-3 and neurotrophin-4/5 but not brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Known substrates for the Trk receptors are SHC1, PI 3-kinase, and PLC-gamma-1. Has a crucial role in the development and function of the nociceptive reception system as well as establishment of thermal regulation via sweating. Activates ERK1 by either SHC1- or PLC-gamma-1-dependent signaling pathway.
