DescriptionThe polyclonal antibody reacts with human, mouse, and rat GFRa-2; the antibody was raised against a peptide corresponding to amino acids 377 to 391 of human GFRα-2. The amino acid sequences of immunogenic peptide are identical to those of mouse and rat. Members of the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) family, including GDNF and neurturin (NTN), play key roles in the control of vertebrate neuron survival and differentiation. Physiological responses to NTN require the presence of a novel glycosylphosphadidylinositol linked protein NTNRα, which is a cell surface receptor for NTN. The cDNAs encoding NTNRα from human, rat, chicken, and mouse have been cloned recently. NTNRα was also termed GDNFRβ, Ret ligand 2 (RETL2) or TGF-β-related neurotrophic factor receptor 2 (TrnR2) and nominated as GFRα-2 recently. GFRα-2 binds NTN and mediates activation of RET receptor tyrosine kinase by both NTN and GDNF. Thus, NTN, GFRα-2, and the Ret PTK form a complex to transduce NTN signal and to mediate NTN function. Applications ReportedFor research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. This polyclonal antibody has been reported for use in immunoblotting (WB). Applications TestedThis polyclonal antibody has been tested by immunblotting (WB) (1:1000-1:2000). HeLa whole cell lysate can be used as positive control and a 52 kDa band should be detected. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest. References
