PicoKine® ELISA Kits

Human Beta Nerve Growth Factor / NGF Beta / NGFB ELISA Kit PicoKine® (96 Tests). Quantitate Human NGF in cell culture supernatants and serum. Sensitivity: 15 pg/ml.

Nerve growth factor (NGF) is a polypeptide involved in the regulation of growth and differentiation of sympathetic and certain sensory neurons. NGF is thought to have a profound effect on the development and maintenance of sympathetic and embryonic sensory neurones. NGF activity isolated from the male mouse submaxillary gland (MSG) consists of three types of subunits, alpha, beta and gamma, which specifically interact to form a 7S, approximately 130, 000-molecular weight (Mr) complex. The 7S complex contains two identical 118-amino acid beta-chains, which are solely responsible for the nerve growth-stimulating activity of NGF. NGF, which is expressed by inflammatory cells and effects changes that lead to increased neural responsiveness, could be a pivotal mediator in allergic rhinitis. The standard product used in this kit is human 2.5S NGF, which is a dimmer linking with two polypeptide chains of 120 amino acids.

Dilution ratio of 1:1, concentration in serum is less than the lowest standard, 31.2 pg/ml.

There is no detectable cross-reactivity with other relevant proteins.

Beta-nerve growth factor

Nerve growth factor is important for the development and maintenance of the sympathetic and sensory nervous systems. Extracellular ligand for the NTRK1 and NGFR receptors, activates cellular signaling cascades through those receptor tyrosine kinase to regulate neuronal proliferation, differentiation and survival. Inhibits metalloproteinase dependent proteolysis of platelet glycoprotein VI (PubMed:20164177)..
