Quick Overview for Nerve Growth Factor antibody (ABIN318395)

Target: Nerve Growth Factor (NGF)

Reactivity: Human, Mouse

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: This Nerve Growth Factor antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), Functional Studies (Func), Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA)

Product Details anti-Nerve Growth Factor Antibody

Specificity: This antibody recognizes both the 2.5S and 7S forms of Mouse NGF beta, a secreted peptide involved in the development and maintenance of the sympathetic and sensory nervous systems. In a standard bioassay, this antibody neutralises the activity of 3.0 ng/mL NGF 2.5S when used at a concentration of around 0.5 μg/mL.

Purification: Affinitv Chromatography

Target Details for Nerve Growth Factor

Target: Nerve Growth Factor (NGF)

Alternative Name: NGF

Background: Nerve growth factor (NGF) is one of a family of neurotrophins that induce the survival and proliferation of neurons. In cell culture, NGF induces the formation of neurite projections and, in vivo, may stimulate the innervation of tissues. NGF plays a role in the repair, regeneration, and protection of neurons, and as such could serve as a therapeutic agent in neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's disease. NGF enhances survival, growth, neurotransmitter biosynthesis of sympathetic and sensory neurons, neurotrophic factor, cutaneous innervation, growth, differentiation and survival of B lymphocytes. It also has a possible role in allergy and tissue repair. NGF is found in the hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid gland, testes, epididymis, vascular smooth muscle cells, fibroblasts, mast cells and eosinophils. NGF is upregulated by glutamate, vitamin D3, IL6, FGF basic, astrocyte specific IL1, TNF alpha, PDGF and TGF beta. It is downregulated by GABAergic neuronal activity, glucocorticoids and Schwann cell-specific TGF beta.Synonyms: Beta-NGF, Beta-nerve growth factor, NGFB
