Nerve growth factor (2.5S), Mouse, Purified Native Protein
Nerve growth factor (2.5S), purified mouse native protein for cell culture, ELISA, WB.

NGF-induced differentiation of PC12 cells in culture. PC12 cells were plated on poly-lysine-coated coverslips and treated with 75 ng/mL native mouse NGF for 19 days. Cells start to differentiate after 6 days, forming a dense neurite network. Images were taken with a light microscope at 10X magnification.

Product Details
Nerve growth factor, beta (Beta-NGF)
Nerve growth factor (NGF) is important for the development and maintenance of the sympathetic and sensory nervous systems. It stimulates division and differentiation of sympathetic and embryonic sensory neurons. Mouse NGF (2.5S) was isolated from mouse submaxillary glands by method of Mobley et al (1976) and is a form of beta-NGF that has identical biological properties. NGF is known to regulate the survival and development of certain sympathetic and sensory neurons. It is a dimer with 2 identical polypeptide chains and dimeric molecular weight of approximately 26,500 Da. Isolation and purification of NGF from mouse submaxillary glands yields preparations of NGF (2.5S) with identical biological activity but with cleavages at the amino terminus (with the loss of 8 amino acids) and/or at the carboxy-terminus (with the loss of arginine). These preparations are named 2.5 NGF (see reference below).

Reconstitute with sterile-filtered, ultrapure water to a concentration of 1 mg/mL. Store lyophilized protein at 2-8°C. After reconstitution, store at 2-8°C short term. Store long-term at -20°C to -80°C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing. See expiration date for shelf-life estimates, actual times may vary depending upon experimental conditions and laboratory handling.
