TrkA Protein, Rabbit (HEK293, His)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

TrkA Protein, Rabbit (HEK293, His) is a nerve growth factor (NGF) receptor that belongs to the tyrosine kinase receptor family. TRKA (NTRK1) gene encodes the high affinity receptor for a neurotrophin nerve growth factor (NGF). It is critical for the correct development of many types of neurons including pain-mediating sensory neurons and also controls proliferation, differentiation and survival of many neuronal and non-neuronal cells. TrkA Protein, Rabbit (HEK293, His) is the recombinant Rabbit-derived TrkA protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-His labeled tag.

Description

TrkA Protein, Rabbit (HEK293, His) is a nerve growth factor (NGF) receptor that belongs to the tyrosine kinase receptor family. TRKA (NTRK1) gene encodes the high affinity receptor for a neurotrophin nerve growth factor (NGF). It is critical for the correct development of many types of neurons including pain-mediating sensory neurons and also controls proliferation, differentiation and survival of many neuronal and non-neuronal cells[1][2]. TrkA Protein, Rabbit (HEK293, His) is the recombinant Rabbit-derived TrkA protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-His labeled tag.

Background

TRKA with the highly similar receptors TRKB and TRKC belongs to the group of tyrosine kinase receptors. TRKB binds neurotrophins brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and neurotrophin-4 (NT-4) while TRKC is the predominant receptor for neurotrophin NT-3, although TRKA and TRKB can also be activated by NT-3. Signaling initiated by the NGF-TRKA complex is crucial for the development of pain-mediating sensory neurons, postganglionic sympathetic neurons and basal forebrain cholinergic neurons[1].
TRKA (also known as NTRK1) gene is a target of alternative splicing which can result in several different protein isoforms. TRKA is encoded by the NTRK1 gene located on chromosome 1q21-q22. Presently, three human isoforms (TRKAI, TRKAII and TRKAIII) and two rat isoforms (TRKA L0 and TRKA L1) have been described. Human TRKA gene is overlapped by two genes and spans 67 kb. TrkA genes in rat and mouse appear to be considerably shorter, are not overlapped by other genes. Human TRKA gene is located on chromosome 1 and has been described to span 23 kb. Seventeen exons, that are relatively well conserved in rat and mouse as compared to human TRKA gene, [the basic local alignment search tool (BLAST) algorithm gives 85 % of similarity in both cases] have been characterized[1][2].
