NGF Receptor Polyclonal Antibody recognizes the p75 nerve growth factor receptor, a transmembrane glycoprotein encoded by the NGFR gene. Also known as p75NTR, CD271, and TNFRSF16, this receptor belongs to the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily and participates in neuronal development, survival, differentiation, and apoptosis. Its expression in neural crest-derived cells, peripheral neurons, and selected non-neural tissues makes it an important marker in neuroscience, developmental biology, and cancer research.
The p75 NGF receptor contains four extracellular cysteine-rich domains, a transmembrane region, and an intracellular death domain. Unlike Trk receptors, NGFR lacks intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity and relies on associated signaling proteins to regulate cellular responses. It binds nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and other neurotrophins. Depending on receptor complexes and cellular context, these interactions can influence neuronal survival, programmed cell death, and cytoskeletal organization.
NGFR signaling involves pathways associated with NF-kappaB, JNK, and RhoA. Interactions with Trk receptors can modify neurotrophin sensitivity, while complexes involving sortilin may mediate responses to proneurotrophins. During nervous system development, p75NTR is expressed in neural crest cells, developing peripheral neurons, and Schwann cell precursors. Its expression can increase following peripheral nerve injury, reflecting involvement in neuronal repair, axonal regeneration, and Schwann cell responses.
Beyond neural tissues, CD271 is expressed in certain mesenchymal stromal cell populations, melanocytes, and neural crest-associated tumors. In melanoma research, NGFR expression is particularly relevant to desmoplastic and neurotropic melanoma, where it can help characterize cells exhibiting neural differentiation. Expression has also been investigated in neuroblastoma and other malignancies, although its biological significance varies with tumor type and cellular context.
Western blotting allows investigation of NGFR protein expression and electrophoretic migration, while immunohistochemistry provides information about receptor distribution within tissue sections. Polyclonal antibodies recognize multiple epitopes within their immunogen, potentially supporting detection across different experimental conditions. An NGF Receptor Polyclonal Antibody from NSJ Bioreagents supports investigations of p75 NGF receptor expression, neurotrophin signaling, neuronal differentiation, and neural crest-associated tumor biology.
For an alternative antibody targeting the same neurotrophin receptor, see our NGFR Antibody NGFR/4919, a mouse monoclonal antibody featuring human melanoma IHC and protein microarray specificity validation.
Optimal dilution of the NGF Receptor Polyclonal Antibody / p75 NGF Receptor Antibody should be determined by the researcher.
Recombinant human protein (amino acids K29-Q240) was used as the immunogen for the NGF Receptor Polyclonal Antibody.
After reconstitution, the NGF Receptor Polyclonal Antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
