The Human TrkB Kit is a sandwich ELISA. The capture antibody is a TrkB antibody pre-coated onto the 96-well strip plates provided in the kit. Human test samples and standards of known TrkB concentration are added to these wells and allowed to complex with the bound TrkB antibody. A biotinylated TrkB antibody is then added. This detection antibody binds to the antigen thus completing the sandwich. After washing, an enzyme Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase complex (ABC) is added which binds to the second antibody. The peroxidase substrate TMB is added to induce a coloured reaction product. The intensity of this coloured product is directly proportional to the concentration of TrkB present in the samples. The purpose of this kit is the in-vitro quantitative determination of human TrkB in samples such as culture supernatant and cell lysates. This kit has been configured for research use only and is not to be used in diagnostic or clinical procedures.

Scientific BackgroundTrkB is a member of the neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase family. It is a membrane-bound receptor and upon neurotrophin binding, it phosphorylates itself as well as MAPK pathways members. TrkB is the receptor for brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin-3 and neurotrophin-4/5 but not nerve growth factor (NGF). It is Involved in the development and/or maintenance of the nervous system.
