We recommend the following alternatives

Inquiry Info. # 3898

Please see our recommended alternatives.

    Product Information

    Product Usage Information

    The working concentration for NT-3 generally ranges from 50-100 ng/ml.

    Storage

    Recombinant human NT-3 is supplied as lyophilized material that is very stable at -20°C. It is recommended to reconstitute with sterile water at a concentration of 0.1 mg/ml which can be further diluted in aqueous solutions as needed. Addition of a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is recommended for long term storage.

    Product Description

    Human NT-3 was prepared in E. coli and is supplied in a lyophilized form. A greater than 95% purity was determined by HPLC and SDS-PAGE.

    Background

    Neurotrophins are comprised of at least four family members including NGF, BDNF, NT-3 and NT-4 and all are known to influence growth, development, differentiation and survival of neurons (1). Proneurotrophins bind to p75NTR but not to the family of Trk receptor tyrosine kinases (Trk). Following maturation, NT-3 binds and activates TrkA, TrkB and TrkC, with TrkC almost exclusively binding to NT-3. Mature NT-4 binds to and activates TrkB (2). Trk receptors in turn activate three major signaling pathways: (a) Ras/MAPK, which promotes neuronal differentiation and neurite outgrowth, (b) PI3 Kinase/Akt, which promotes survival and growth of neurons, and (c) PLC-γ 1/PKC, which promotes synaptic plasticity (2).
    NT-3 knock-out mice display movement and posture deficiencies due to proprioception defects as well as loss of neurons in spinal and cephalic sensory ganglia (3-4).
