There are 2+ publications for this product available. The Rabbit Polyclonal anti-TRKB antibody is suitable to detect TRKB in samples from Human, Rat and Mouse. It has been validated for IF.
The antibody detects endogenous level of TrkB only when phosphorylated at tyrosine 515.
Purification
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography usingepitope-specific phosphopeptide. The antibody against non-phosphopeptide was removedby chromatography using non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the phosphorylation site.
Immunogen
Peptide sequence around phosphorylation site of pTyr515 (P-Q-Y (p) -F-G) derived from Human TrkB. Antibodies were produced by immunizing rabbits with synthetic phosphopeptide and KLH conjugates.
Phosphate buffered saline (without Mg2+ and Ca2+), pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 0.02 % sodium azide and 50 % glycerol.
Preservative
Sodium azide

Target
TRKB (NTRK2)
(Neurotrophic Tyrosine Kinase, Receptor, Type 2 (NTRK2))
Alternative Name
TrkB
Background
Receptor for brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin-3 and neurotrophin-4/5 but not nerve growth factor (NGF). Involved in the development and/or maintenance of the nervous system. This is a tyrosine-protein kinase receptor. Known substrates for the TRK receptors are SHC1, PI-3 kinase, and PLC-gamma-1.
