COA Handling Instructions

Nerve Growth Factor Receptor (NGFR) also known as CD271, p75NTR, TNFRSF16, is a transmembrane low-affinity receptor for the neurotrophin family. NGFR has no intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity. NGFR can act as a tumour suppressor, negatively regulating cell growth and proliferation. NGF-NGFR cascade activates NF-κB, leading to inhibition of apoptosis, increases survival of schwannoma, and breast cancer cells.  NGFR Protein, Human (HEK293) is a recombinant protein consisting of 222 amino acids (K29-N250) and is produced in HEK293 cells.

Description

Nerve Growth Factor Receptor (NGFR) also known as CD271, p75NTR, TNFRSF16, is a transmembrane low-affinity receptor for the neurotrophin family. NGFR has no intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity. NGFR can act as a tumour suppressor, negatively regulating cell growth and proliferation[1]. NGF-NGFR cascade activates NF-κB, leading to inhibition of apoptosis, increases survival of schwannoma, and breast cancer cells[3].  NGFR Protein, Human (HEK293) is a recombinant protein consisting of 222 amino acids (K29-N250) and is produced in HEK293 cells.

Background

Nerve Growth Factor Receptor (NGFR) is expressed not only in nervous tissue, but also in non-neuronal normal and cancer cells, such as perivascular cells, dental pulp cells, lymphoidal follicular dendritic cells, basal epithelium of oral mucosa and hair follicles, prostate basal cells and myoepithelial cells[1].
Human NGFR shares 92.45% aa sequence identity with mouse NGFR protein and 92.42% aa sequence identity with rat NGFR protein.
Nerve Growth Factor Receptor (NGFR) is a type-I transmembrane protein, a typical structure of the TNFR superfamily and devoid of intrinsic catalytic activity. NGFR signaling involves activation of NF-kB (Rel/NF-kB transcription factors) and the phosphorylation of the transcription factor c-Jun kinase (JNK), as well as increased production of ceramide, leading to gene transcription or programmed cell death[2].
NGFR induces p53-dependent apoptosis and cell growth arrest as well as suppressed tumor growth[3]. The low-affinity nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR) p75NGFR induces apoptosis in the absence of nerve growth factor (NGF) binding but enhances neural survival when bound by NGF. NGFR enhances beta-amyloid peptide toxicity[4]. NGFR signal can induce the subsequent downregulation of melanoma antigens and eventually suppress CTL activation[5].

In Vitro

NGFR (human) knockdown induces apoptosis and inhibits p53 activation in H460 cells[3].
NGFR (human) high expression is correlated with greater regional nodal metastasis rates and poor prognosis in human oral squamous cell carcinoma[6].

Biological Activity

The ED50 is <0.4 μg/mL as measured by TF-1 cells.

  • Measured by its ability to inhibit beta-NGF-dependent proliferation of TF-1 human erythroleukemic cells.The ED50 for this effect is 0.2975 μg/mL, corresponding to a specific activity is 3361.3445 units/mg.

Molecular Weight

32-60 kDa

Purity
  • Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.
Appearance

Lyophilized powder.

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of PB, 150 mM NaCl, pH 7.4.

Endotoxin Level

<0.2 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

Reconstitution

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Storage & Stability

Stored at -20°C for 2 years. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Shipping

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.

The reconstitution calculator equation

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration
= ÷

The dilution calculator equation

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)

This equation is commonly abbreviated as: C1V1 = C2V2

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)
× = ×

The specific activity calculator equation

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)
Unit/mg = 106 ÷ ng/mL
