Neurturin

Anti-Neurturin Antibody

ORDERING INFORMATION

Catalog No.: 1121
Size: 100 ug IgG in PBS, pH 7.4, purified by immunoaffinity chroma- tography.

BACKGROUND

Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) plays a key role in the conrol of vertebrate neuron survival and differentiation. A novel neurotrophic factor was recently cloned from human and mouse and designated neurturin. (NTN). Physiological responses to NTN require the presence of receptor tyrosine kinase RET and a novel glycosylphosphatidylinositol linked receptor NTNRα. The cDNAS encoding NTNRα from human, rat, chicken, and mouse have been cloned and referred to as GFRα-2, GDNFRβ, Ret ligand 2 (RETL2), and TGF-β-related neurotrophic factor receptor 2 (TmR2). NTN forms a complex with GFRα-2 and the Ret PTK and activates the RET receptor tyrosine kinase pathway. Both NTN and GDNF can activate the MAP kinase and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathways and play a critical role in the development of many neuronal populations.
