Recombinant p75NTR Antibody / NGFR

This antibody is specific for a glycoprotein of 75kDa, identified as low affinity Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) Receptor (p75NGFR) or p75 Neurotrophin Receptor (p75NTR) . NGFR is expressed in various neural crest cells and their tumors such as melanocytes, melanomas, neuroblastomas, pheochromocytomas and neurofibromas. Reportedly, anti-NGFR/p75NTR is a reliable marker for desmoplastic and neurotropic melanomas. It is expressed in mature non-neural cells such as perivascular cells, dental pulp cells, lymphoidal follicular dendritic cells, basal epithelium of oral mucosa and hair follicles, prostate basal cells, and myoepithelial cells. Anti-NGFR/p75NTR stains the myoepithelial cells of breast ducts and intra-lobular fibroblasts of breast ducts.
