Sandwich ELISA quantitative detection kit for Rat trkA in cell culture supernates, cell lysates and tissue homogenates.Tropomyosin receptor kinase A (TrkA) are efficacious in attenuating skeletal pain.1 TrkA mutants were able to activate signaling cascades and were even more efficient in promoting neurite outgrowth than the wild-type receptor.2 TrkA is part of a sub-family of protein kinases which includes TrkB and TrkC. Also, there are other neurotrophic factors structurally related to NGF: BDNF (for Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor), NT-3 (for Neurotrophin-3) and NT-4 (for Neurotrophin-4). While TrkA mediates the effects of NGF, TrkB is bound and activated by BDNF, NT-4, and NT-3. Further, TrkC binds and is activated by NT-3.3 TrkA receptor was found in keratoconus-affected corneas, along with an increased level of repressor isoform of Sp3 transcription factor.4 The standard product used in this kit is extracellular part (A33-P418) of recombinant rat TRKA, consisting of 386 amino acids with the molecular weight of 69kD.Assay Range:156pg/ml-10000pg/mlSensitivity:< 10 pg/mlCrossreactivity:There is no detectable cross-reactivity with other relevant proteins.Uniprot ID:P35739Entrez Gene ID:59109Kit Components:96-well plate pre-coated with anti-TrkA, RatLyophilized recombinant TrkA, Rat standard, 10ng/tube, 2EaUSB Cat No Kit Component143696 Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex (ABC), 130ul (1:100 dilution)143697 Sample diluent buffer, 30ml143698 Antibody diluent buffer, 12ml143699 ABC diluent buffer, 12ml143700 TMB color developing agent, 10ml143701 TMB stop solution, 10mlStorage and Handling:Store at 4°C for 6 months, at -20°C for 12 months.
