Anti-NGFR/p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) Antibody (FITC)

P75NTR (CD271) was originally discovered as a low affinity nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR) . Later it was found that it was the receptor for all neurotrophins, including NGF, BDNF, NT3 and NT4/5. It mediates signals of neurotrophins for neuronal survival, apoptosis, neurite outgrowth and synaptic plasticity. Recently, it has been revealed that p75NTR not only acts as the receptor for neurotrophins but also the receptor for many other pathological ligands such as prions, rabies virus and amyloid beta. p75NTR also acts as a co-receptor for NOGO which mediates inhibitory signals of myelin associated protein. p75NTR is highly expressed in a number of non-neuronal and neuronal cells including motor neurons during development and also in damaged neurons. Recent research proposes the extracellular domain of p75NTR as a biomarker for monitoring the progression of motor neuron disease (MND), also known as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig's Disease. SUBUNIT: Homodimer; disulfide-linked. Interacts with p75NTR-associated cell death executor. Interacts with NGFRAP1/BEX3.

Our Anti-NGFR/p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) mouse monoclonal primary antibody detects human, mouse, and rat NGFR/p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR), and is IgG. It is validated for use in FC, ICC.

Liquid antibody is shipped cold. Upon arrival, spin vial briefly, divide into aliquots and store at -20°C for long-term storage. Store at 2-8°C short-term (up to 4 weeks) with an appropriate antibacterial agent. Avoid repetitive freeze/thaw cycles.

Reacts with human, mouse and rat. Cross-reactivity with other species not tested but expected.This antibody is specific for NGFR/p75NTR as demonstrated by Western blotting and immunprecipitation. The antibody recognizes extracellular p75NTR under non-reducing conditions.
