  • Scientific Background TrkA is a member of the neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor family. It is a membrane-bound receptor that upon neurotrophin binding, phosphorylates itself and members of the MAPK pathway. TrkA is required for high-affinity binding to nerve growth factor (NGF), neurotrophin-3 and neurotrophin-4/5 but not brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). TrkA leads to cell differentiations and may play a role in specifying sensory neuron subtypes. It has a crucial role in the development and function of the nociceptive reception system as well as establishment of thermal regulation via sweating. SUBUNIT: Exists in a dynamic equilibrium between monomeric (low affinity) and dimeric (high affinity) structures. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; single-pass type I membrane protein. Endocytosed to the endosomes upon treatment of cells with NGF. ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS: 2 named isoforms produced by alternative splicing. Both isoforms have similar biological properties. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Isoform TrkA-II is primarily expressed in neuronal cells. Isoform TrkA-I is found in non-neuronal tissues. Mutations in TrkA have been associated with congenital insensitivity to pain, anhidrosis, self-mutalating behaviour, mental retardation and cancer.

    Western blot of TrkA receptor in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell lysate (30 µg/lane). R-152-100 detects TrkA full-length protein at 130-140 kDa under non-reducing conditions (no DTT or beta-mercaptoethanol!). Higher molecular-weight bands may represent homodimeric forms of TrkA or heterodimeric TrkA-receptor complexes. The identity of lower molecular weight bands is unknown. SDS-PAGE: denatured and non-reducing; Transfer: Tris-Glycine buffer; Membrane: nitrocellulose (0.45 um); Blocking: 5% skim milk in TBST, 1 hour at RT; Primary antibody: overnight at 4°C (1/2500 dilution); Secondary antibody: anti-rabbit-HRP (1/6000) 2 hours at RT; Detection: Chemiluminiscence. Predicted MW of humanTrkA based on amino acid sequence: 84 kDa. The observed MW differs due to post-translational modification, mainly glycosylation.
