Application

Anti-phospho-TrkA (pTyr⁴⁹⁰) antibody can be used in immunoprecipitation, immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry. It may also be used in western blotting when diluted to ratio of 1:1000 for NGF-treated PC12 cells.

General description

TrkA belongs to the Trk proto-oncogene family and is expressed mainly in central and peripheral nervous systems. When TrkA binds to NGF, it autophosphorylates tyrosine residues like-Tyr⁴⁹⁰, Tyr⁶⁷⁴, Tyr⁶⁷⁵, Tyr⁷⁵¹, and Tyr⁷⁸⁵ and subsequently activates many downstream effector proteins. Defects in TrkA lead to congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis. Anti-phospho-TrkA (pTyr⁴⁹⁰) antibody can be used in immunocytochemistry (1:100, using cultured cells). It is also useful in identifying endogenous levels of phosphorylated Tyr⁴⁹⁰ in TrkA, TrkB and TrkC. Rabbit anti- phospho-TrkA (pTyr⁴⁹⁰) antibody is reactive in mouse, human and rat.

Immunogen

synthetic phosphopeptide Tyr⁴⁹⁰ corresponding to residues surrounding Tyr⁴⁹⁰ of human TrkA, conjugated to KLH. This sequence is highly conserved in TrkB and TrkC.

Physical form

Solution in 10 mM sodium HEPES, pH 7.5, and 150 mM sodium chloride containing 100 µg/ml bovine serum albumin and 50% glycerol.
