NGFR Protein, Rabbit (HEK293, His)
Based on 1 Customer Validation
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, Human (HEK293, Fc) is a recombinant protein with a C-Terminal Fc label, It consists of 250 amino acids (M1-N250) and is produced in HEK293 cells. NGFR Protein, Rabbit (HEK293, His) is a recombinant protein with a C-Terminal His label, It consists of 242 amino acids (M1-D242) and is produced in HEK293 cells.
- Species: Rabbit
- Source: HEK293

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, Human (HEK293, Fc) is a recombinant protein with a C-Terminal Fc label, It consists of 250 amino acids (M1-N250) and is produced in HEK293 cells. NGFR Protein, Rabbit (HEK293, His) is a recombinant protein with a C-Terminal His label, It consists of 242 amino acids (M1-D242) 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].
Verified Bioactivity
Measured by its ability to inhibit beta-NGF-dependent proliferation of TF-1 human erythroleukemic cells. The ED50 for this effect is 0.163 µg/mL in the presence of 2 ng/mL of recombinant human beta-NGF, corresponding to a specific activity is 6.1350×10[3] units/mg.
