Recombinant Human Beta-NGF (Mammalian) Protein

Molecular weight: 13.3 KDaDescription: Recombinant Human Beta-Nerve Growth Factor is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Ser122-Arg239 is expressed.Human ÃŽ2-Nerve Growth Factor (ÃŽ2-NGF) was initially isolated in the mouse submandibular gland. It is composed of three non-covalently linked subunits a, ÃŽ2, and ÃŽ3; it exhibits all the biological activities ascribed to NGF. It is structurally related to BDNF, NT-3 and NT-4 and belongs to the cysteine-knot family of growth factors that assume stable dimeric structures. ÃŽâ€TM-NGF is a neurotrophic factor that signals through its receptor ÃŽ2-NGF, and plays a crucial role in the development and preservation of the sensory and sympathetic nervous systems. ÃŽâ€TM-NGF also acts as a growth and differentiation factor for B lymphocytes and enhances B-cell survival. These results suggest that ÃŽ2-NGF is a pleiotropic cytokine, which in addition to its neurotropic activities may have an important role in the regulation of the immune system. Human ÃŽ2-NGF shares 90% sequence similarity with mouse protein and shows cross-species reactivity.
