Antibody Immunogen Source: Human TrkA (NGFR; NTrk1) sequence peptide Cat. No.: PE-04AHV95

Antibody Immunogen Sequence: STD(pY)(pY)RVG(bA)C

Antibody Immunogen Description: Corresponds to amino acid residues S677 to G684; In protein kinase catalytic domain activation T-loop between subdomains VII and VIII.

Production Method: The immunizing peptide was produced by solid phase synthesis on a multipep peptide synthesizer and purified by reverse-phase hplc chromatography. Purity was assessed by analytical hplc and the amino acid sequence confirmed by mass spectrometry analysis. This peptide was coupled to KLH prior to immunization into rabbits. New Zealand White rabbits were subcutaneously injected with KLH-coupled immunizing peptide every 4 weeks for 4 months. The sera from these animals was applied onto an agarose column to which the immunogen peptide was thio-linked. Antibody was eluted from the column with 0.1 M glycine, pH 2.5. Subsequently, the antibody solution was neutralized to pH 7.0 with saturated Tris.This antibody was also subject to negative purification over phosphotyrosine-agarose.

Antibody Modification: Unconjugated. Contact KInexus if you are interest in having the antibody biotinylated or coupled with fluorescent dyes.

Scientific Background: TrkA (NTrk1) is a protein-tyrosine kinase of the TK group and Trk family. It is a receptor protein-tyrosine kinase with high affinity for nerve growth factor (NGF). The TrkA protein functions in the development and maturation of both the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS) through the regulation of neuronal proliferation, differentiation, and survival, specifically of sympathetic neurons. Upon binding to NGF, TrkA undergoes homodimerization and activating autophosphorylation. Autophosphorylation of Y496 increases phosphotransferase activity and induces interaction with FRS2 and Shc1. Autophosphorylation of Y757 increases phosphotransferase activity. Autophosphorylation of Y791 increases phosphotransferase activity and induces interaction with PLCg1. Phosphorylation of Y701 inhibits phosphotransferase activity and induces interaction with CLTC and LAMP1. These interactions mediate NGF effects on cell survival and proliferation. TrkA appears to be an oncoprotein (OP). Overactive forms of the TrkA protein are known to have oncogenic properties and promote tumourigenesis. Chromosomal translocations involving the TrkA gene have been observed in thyroid papillary carcinoma tissue samples.
