Recombinant Human NT-3
 
Catalog Number:
AF-450-03
Synonyms:
Neurotrophin-3, Neurotrophic factor, Nerve growth factor-2, NGF-2, HGNF
Description:
NT-3 is a neurotrophic factor structurally related to β-NGF, BDNF, and NT-4. These proteins belong to the cysteine-knot family of growth factors that assume stable dimeric structures. NT-3 is expressed by neurons of the central nervous systems and can signal through the trk receptors. NT-3 promotes the growth and survival of nerve and glial cells. The amino acid sequences of human, murine and rat NT-3 are identical. Recombinant human NT-3 is a noncovalently linked homodimer, of two 13.6 kDa polypeptide monomers (240 total amino acid residues).Human and Mouse NT-3 sequences are identical. Manufactured using all non-animal reagents.
