• Description: NT-3 growth factor receptor is also known as neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor type 3 or TrkC tyrosine kinase or Trk-C receptor, is a member of the neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (NTRK) family. This kinase is a membrane-bound receptor that, upon neurotrophin binding, phosphorylates itself and members of the MAPK pathway. TrkC/NTRK3 is widely expressed in the developing and adult nervous system. In later embryonic development, TrkC/NTRK3 is expressed in various structures of the CNS including the caudate-putamen, septal nuclei, cerebellum, and brainstem. Other neurotrophins include nerve growth factor(NGF), neurotrophin-3 and neurotrophin-4. In the PNS, The trkC hybridization appears to correlate, both temporally and spatially, with the outgrowth of axons toward their peripheral targets. TrkC/NTRK3 is widely expressed in the three identified branches of the mammalian nervous system and appears to correlate with the expression of NT-3, its cognate ligand. The apparent colocalization of trkC transcripts with NT-3 raises the possibility this neurotrophin exerts its trophic effects by a paracrine and/or autocrine mechanism. Signaling through this kinase leads to cell differentiation and may play a role in the development of proprioceptive neurons that sense body position. Mutations in the TrkC encoding gene have been associated with medulloblastomas, secretory breast carcinomas, and other cancers.
• Form: Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4
  Please contact us for any concerns or special requirements.
  Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween80 are added as protectants before lyophilization.
• Bio-activity: Immobilized human Trkc-His at 10 μg/ml (100 μl/well) can bind biotinylated human NT3, The EC50 of biotinylated human NT3 is 0.03-0.07 μg/ml.
• Molecular Mass: The recombinant human TrkC consists of 408 amino acids and has a calculated molecular mass of 46.1 kDa. As a result of glycosylation, the recombinant protein migrates as an approximately 80-90 kDa protein in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.
• Endotoxin: < 1.0 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method
• Purity: > 95 % as determined by SDS-PAGE
• Storage: Samples are stable for up to twelve months from date of receipt at -20°C to -80°C
  Store it under sterile conditions at -20°C to -80°C. It is recommended that the protein be aliquoted for optimal storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
• Reconstitution: It is recommended that sterile water be added to the vial to prepare a stock solution of 0.25 mg/ml. Centrifuge the vial at 4°C before opening to recover the entire contents.
