Cat. No.: HY-P77100
COA Handling Instructions

Nerve Growth Factor Receptor (NGFR) also known as CD271, p75NTR, TNFRSF16, is a transmembrane low-affinity receptor for the neurotrophin family. NGFR has no intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity. NGFR can act as a tumour suppressor, negatively regulating cell growth and proliferation. NGF-NGFR cascade activates NF-κB, leading to inhibition of apoptosis, increases survival of schwannoma, and breast cancer cells.  NGFR Protein, Mouse (HEK293, Fc) is a recombinant protein with a C-Terminal Fc label, It consists of 243 amino acids (M1-N243) and is produced in HEK293 cells.

Description

Nerve Growth Factor Receptor (NGFR) also known as CD271, p75NTR, TNFRSF16, is a transmembrane low-affinity receptor for the neurotrophin family. NGFR has no intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity. NGFR can act as a tumour suppressor, negatively regulating cell growth and proliferation[1]. NGF-NGFR cascade activates NF-κB, leading to inhibition of apoptosis, increases survival of schwannoma, and breast cancer cells[3].  NGFR Protein, Mouse (HEK293, Fc) is a recombinant protein with a C-Terminal Fc label, It consists of 243 amino acids (M1-N243) and is produced in HEK293 cells.

Background

Nerve Growth Factor Receptor (NGFR) is expressed not only in nervous tissue, but also in non-neuronal normal and cancer cells, such as perivascular cells, dental pulp cells, lymphoidal follicular dendritic cells, basal epithelium of oral mucosa and hair follicles, prostate basal cells and myoepithelial cells[1].
Human NGFR shares 92.45% aa sequence identity with mouse NGFR protein and 92.42% aa sequence identity with rat NGFR protein.
Nerve Growth Factor Receptor (NGFR) is a type-I transmembrane protein, a typical structure of the TNFR superfamily and devoid of intrinsic catalytic activity. NGFR signaling involves activation of NF-kB (Rel/NF-kB transcription factors) and the phosphorylation of the transcription factor c-Jun kinase (JNK), as well as increased production of ceramide, leading to gene transcription or programmed cell death[2].
NGFR induces p53-dependent apoptosis and cell growth arrest as well as suppressed tumor growth[3]. The low-affinity nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR) p75NGFR induces apoptosis in the absence of nerve growth factor (NGF) binding but enhances neural survival when bound by NGF. NGFR enhances beta-amyloid peptide toxicity[4]. NGFR signal can induce the subsequent downregulation of melanoma antigens and eventually suppress CTL activation[5].

Biological Activity

Measured by its ability to inhibit NGF-dependent proliferation of TF-1 human erythroleukemic cells.The ED50 for this effect is typically 0.5-3 μg/mL in the presence of 2 ng/mL Recombinant mouse NGF.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.

  • Specific Activity Calculator

The reconstitution calculator equation

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration
= ÷

The dilution calculator equation

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)

This equation is commonly abbreviated as: C1V1 = C2V2

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)
× = ×

The specific activity calculator equation

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)
Unit/mg = 106 ÷ ng/mL
