Anti-Tyrosine Kinase Receptor A (TrkA) Antibody (BS292)
Our Anti-Tyrosine Kinase Receptor A (TrkA) mouse monoclonal primary antibody detects human, mouse, other mammals (predicted), and rat Tyrosine Kinase Receptor A (TrkA), and is IgG. It is validated for use in ICC, WB.
Western blot of TrkA in rat PC12 cell lysates (64 µg/lane): SDS-PAGE: denatured, non-reduced; Transfer: Tris-Glycine buffer; Membrane: nitrocellulose (0.45 um); Blocking: 5% skim milk in TBST, 1 hour at RT; Primary antibody: overnight at 4°C (3 µg/mL); Secondary antibody: anti-mouse-HRP (1/6000) 2 hours at RT; Detection: Chemiluminiscence. M-1719-100 detects membrane-associated TrkA full-length protein at approximately 140 kDa (gp140TrkA). Predicted MW of rat TrkA based on amino acid sequence: 85 kDa. The observed MW differs due to post-translational modification, mainly glycosylation.

Product Details
Tyrosine Kinase Receptor A (TrkA)
TrkA is a member of the neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor family. It is a membrane-bound receptor that upon neurotrophin binding, phosphorylates itself and members of the MAPK pathway. TrkA is required for high-affinity binding to nerve growth factor (NGF), neurotrophin-3 and neurotrophin-4/5 but not brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). TrkA leads to cell differentiations and may play a role in specifying sensory neuron subtypes. It has a crucial role in the development and function of the nociceptive reception system as well as establishment of thermal regulation via sweating. SUBUNIT: Exists in a dynamic equilibrium between monomeric (low affinity) and dimeric (high affinity) structures. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; single-pass type I membrane protein. Endocytosed to the endosomes upon treatment of cells with NGF. ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS: 2 named isoforms produced by alternative splicing. Both isoforms have similar biological properties. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Isoform TrkA-II is primarily expressed in neuronal cells. Isoform TrkA-I is found in non-neuronal tissues. Mutations in TrkA have been associated with congenital insensitivity to pain, anhidrosis, self-mutalating behaviour, mental retardation and cancer (Reference: www.uniprot.com).

Spin vial briefly before opening. Reconstitute in 100 µL sterile-filtered, ultrapure water. Centrifuge to remove any insoluble material. Final buffer contains no preservatives.After reconstitution divide into aliquots and store at -20°C for a higher stability. Antibody contains no preservatives. Store at 2-8°C with an appropriate antibacterial agent. Use sterile methods. Highest purity Glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability when stored at refrigerated or freezing temperatures. Avoid repetitive freeze/thaw cycles.
Lyophilized
Protein G purified mouse immunoglobulin
Lyophilized from PBS, pH 7.4, containing 3% trehalose without preservatives.
WB: 1-3 µg/mL
ICC: 1-2 µg/mL
ICC: 1-2 µg/mL
WB: Western blotting: 1-3 µg/mL, antibody is suitable for reduced (with DTT or beta-mercaptoethanol) and non-reduced samples. Denatured but not reduced samples provides cleaner blot signals as demonstrated in images.
Immunocytochemistry: 1-2 µg/mL. Antibody works on 4% formaldehyde-fixed cells. Note that cells require a permeabilization step, because the antibody detects a cytoplasmic epitope of TrkA.
Other applications not yet tested.

Unconjugated
TrkA. Does not cross-react with TrkB or TrkC. Reacts with human TrkA. Known to cross-react with TrkA from rat and mouse. Expected to cross-react with other mammalian species based on peptide antigen sequence similarity.

UniProt Summary: Receptor tyrosine kinase involved in the development and the maturation of the central and peripheral nervous systems through regulation of proliferation, differentiation and survival of sympathetic and nervous neurons. High affinity receptor for NGF which is its primary ligand. Can also bind and be activated by NTF3/neurotrophin-3. However, NTF3 only supports axonal extension through NTRK1 but has no effect on neuron survival. Upon dimeric NGF ligand-binding, undergoes homodimerization, autophosphorylation and activation. Recruits, phosphorylates and/or activates several downstream effectors including SHC1, FRS2, SH2B1, SH2B2 and PLCG1 that regulate distinct overlapping signaling cascades driving cell survival and differentiation. Through SHC1 and FRS2 activates a GRB2-Ras-MAPK cascade that regulates cell differentiation and survival. Through PLCG1 controls NF-Kappa-B activation and the transcription of genes involved in cell survival. Through SHC1 and SH2B1 controls a Ras-PI3 kinase-AKT1 signaling cascade that is also regulating survival. In absence of ligand and activation, may promote cell death, making the survival of neurons dependent on trophic factors.
