Description

The polyclonal antibody reacts with human neurturin; the antibody was raised against a peptide corresponding to amino acids 178 to 193 of human neurturin. Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) plays key roles in the control of vertebrate neuron survival and differentiation. A novel neurotrophic factor was recently cloned from human and mouse and designated neurturin. Physiological responses to neurturin (NTN) require the presence of receptor tyrosine kinase RET and a novel glycosylphosphatidylinositol linked receptor NTNRα. The cDNAs encoding NTNRα from human, rat, chicken, and mouse have been cloned recently and termed GDNFRβ, Ret ligand 2 (RETL2) or TGF-β-related neurotrophic factor receptor 2 (TrnR2) and nominated as GFRα-2 recently. NTN binds to and forms a complex with GFRα-2 and the Ret PTK and activates the RET receptor tyrosine kinase pathway. Both NTN and GDNF can activate the MAP kinase and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathways and play a critical role in the development of many neuronal populations. Neurturin and GDNF define a new family of neurotrophic factors.

Applications Reported

For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. This polyclonal antibody has been reported for use in immunoblotting (WB).

Applications Tested

This polyclonal antibody has been tested by immunoblotting (WB) (1:500). Recombinant NTN was used as a positive control. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest.
