Anti-Tyrosine Kinase Receptor B (TrkB) Antibody

FUNCTION: Receptor for brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin-3 and neurotrophin-4/5 but not nerve growth factor (NGF) . Involved in the development and/or maintenance of the nervous system. This is a tyrosine-protein kinase receptor. Known substrates for the TRK receptors are SHC1, PI-3 kinase, and PLC-gamma-1. CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: ATP + a [protein]-L-tyrosine = ADP + a [protein]-L-tyrosine phosphate. SUBUNIT: Exists in a dynamic equilibrium between monomeric (low affinity) and dimeric (high affinity) structures (By similarity) . Binds APS. Interacts with SQSTM1. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; single-pass type I membrane protein. ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS: 3 named isoforms produced by alternative splicing. Additional isoforms seem to exist. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: The different forms are differentially expressed in various cell types. Isoform T2 is primarily expressed in neurons. PTM: Ligand-mediated auto-phosphorylation. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the Tyr protein kinase family. Insulin receptor subfamily. SIMILARITY: Contains 2 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains. SIMILARITY: Contains 2 LRR (leucine-rich) repeats. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 protein kinase domain.

Our Anti-Tyrosine Kinase Receptor B (TrkB) rabbit polyclonal primary antibody detects human, mouse, and rat Tyrosine Kinase Receptor B (TrkB), and is whole serum. It is validated for use in IHC-Frozen.

Spin vial briefly before opening. Reconstitute in 100 μL sterile-filtered, ultrapure water. Centrifuge to remove any insoluble material. After reconstitution keep aliquots at -20°C for a higher stability, and at 2-8°C with an appropriate antibacterial agent. Glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid repetitive freeze/thaw cycles.

Sequence was chosen to avoid cross reactivity with TrkA and TrkC. This antiserum recognizes human, rat and mouse TrkB. Cross reactivity with other species has not yet been tested.
