Biological Activity

Description

Neurotrophin-3 Protein, Human is a recombinant Neurotrophin-3 protein expressed in E. coli system. Neurotrophin-3 is widely expressed in the nervous system. Neurotrophin-3 reduces cellular damage, improves neuronal regeneration in different models of lesions[1].

Background

Neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), a trophic factor from the neurotrophin family, is widely expressed in the nervous system.
The physiological actions of NT-3 are mediated by the activation of two membrane receptors: the low-affinity receptor p75 and the high-affinity receptor Trk. NT-3 activates the TrkC receptor and binds with less affinity to TrkB and TrkA.
NT-3 reduces cellular damage, improves neuronal regeneration in different models of lesions or neurodegeneration, and participates in synaptic reorganization, synapse formation, and neuronal plasticity[1].

In Vitro

Neurotrophin-3 (human; 2 ng/mL; 20 h), but not brain-derived neurotrophic factor, promotes neuronal differentiation of retinal progenitor E4 cells[3].

Verified Bioactivity

1.The ED50 as determined by its ability to bind Human NTRK2 in functional ELISA is less than 10 μg/mL.
2.Measured in a cell proliferation assay using BaF3 mouse pro-B cells transfected with TrkB. The ED50 for this effect is 33.69-35.88 ng/mL, corresponding to a specific activity is 2.787-2.968×104 units/mg.

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder

Formulation

1.Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of 20 mM PB, 250 mM NaCl, pH 7.2.
2.Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of 0.1% TFA, 20% Acetonitrile, pH 2.5.
Please refer to the lot-specific COA for specific buffer information.

Endotoxin Level

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

Reconstitution

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Storage & Stability

Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Shipping

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
