The nerve growth factor (NGF) receptor (NGFR), also known as p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR; TNFRS16; CD271) is a common receptor for the neurotrophins NGF, BDNF, NT-3 and NT-4/5. In neurons, p75NTR mediates a variety of physiological functions including survival, apoptosis, neurite outgrowth and synaptic plasticity. A potential pathological role for p75NTR has become evident in recent years. Altered p75NTR expression levels are implicated in degeneration of spinal motor neurons in human and mouse models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Importantly, the extracellular domain of p75NTR (p75ECD) is shed from the cell membrane and excreted in urine. Recent findings further suggest that p75ECD could be an early biomarker for ALS in humans, as significantly elevated p75ECD levels are found in urine of ALS patients as compared to healthy controls.
产品描述
The Biosensis NGFR/p75 ECD RapidTM enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Kit is a sandwich ELISA that allows the quantification of mouse p75 ECD in less than 4 hours n cell culture supernatants and urine only if used as directed. Please refer to the kit protocol for specific use instructions for each substrate application. This ELISA kit consists of a pre-coated mouse monoclonal anti-p75 ECD capture antibody, a goat anti- p75 ECD detection antibody and a horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated anti-goat antibody. The addition of a substrate (3,3,5,5-tetramethylbenzidine, TMB) yields a colored reaction product which is directly proportional to the concentration of p75 ECD present in samples and protein standards. This NGFR/p75 ECD ELISA kit employs a recombinant mouse p75 ECD-Fc chimera protein as standard. While there is a current lack of a true mouse p75 ECD standard, this ELISA kit allows quantification of mouse p75 ECD as p75 ECD“Fc mouse equivalents. Please note that the antibodies used in this ELISA cross-react with human NGFR/p75 ECD. This kit has not been tested for other applications. It has been configured for research use only and is not to be used in diagnostic or clinical procedures.
