| Description |
TrkC is a member of the neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase family. TrkC is a membrane-bound receptor that upon neurotrophin binding, phosphorylates itself and members of the MAPK pathway. TrkC is the receptor for neurotrophin-3 (NT-3). Signalling through TrkC leads to cell differentiation and may play a role in the development of proprioceptive neurons that sense body position. SUBUNIT: Exists in a dynamic equilibrium between monomeric (low affinity) and dimeric (high affinity) structures. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; single-pass type I membrane protein. ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS: 4 named isoforms produced by alternative splicing. Additional isoforms seem to exist. Mutations in TrkC have been associated with medulloblastomas, secretory breast carcinomas and other cancers. |

| Produced in |
NZ white rabbit |
| Purity |
Whole serum |
| Applications |
IHC. A dilution of 1:1000 to 1:3000 is recommended for this application. Biosensis recommends optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. |
| Specificity |
Specificity was demonstrated by immunohistochemistry. This antibody was used to stain cryostat sections of the rat peripheral sensory ganglia. |
| Cross-reactivity |
Reacts with human, rat and mouse TrkC. Other species have not yet been tested. |
| Form |
Lyophilised |
| Reconstitution |
Reconstitute in 100 µl of sterile water. Centrifuge to remove any insoluble material. |
| Storage |
After reconstitution keep aliquots at -20ºC for a higher stability, and at 4ºC with an appropriate antibacterial agent. Glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid repetitive freeze/thaw cycles. |
