  • Description
    TRKA is a member of the neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor (NTKR) family. It is a membrane-bound receptor that, upon neurotrophin binding, phosphorylates itself and members of the MAPK pathway. Isoform TrkA-III promotes angiogenesis and has oncogenic activity when overexpressed. Isoform TrkA-I is found in most non-neuronal tissues. Isoform TrkA-II is primarily expressed in neuronal cells. TrkA-III is specifically expressed by pluripotent neural stem and neural crest progenitors. The presence of NTRK1 leads to cell differentiation and may play a role in specifying sensory neuron subtypes. Mutations in TRKA gene have been associated with congenital insensitivity to pain, anhidrosis, self-mutilating behavior, mental retardation and cancer. It was originally identified as an oncogene as it is commonly mutated in cancers, particularly colon and thyroid carcinomas. 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). Known substrates for the Trk receptors are SHC1, PI 3-kinase, and PLC-gamma-1. NTRK1 has a crucial role in the development and function of the nociceptive reception system as well as establishment of thermal regulation via sweating. It also activates ERK1 by either SHC1- or PLC-gamma-1-dependent signaling pathway. Defects in NTRK1 are a cause of congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis and thyroid papillary carcinoma.
  • Protein name
    High affinity nerve growth factor receptor

  • Uniprot ID
    P04629
  • Gene Name
    NTRK1; MTC; TRK; TRKA
  • Source/Expression Host
    Human Cells
  • Expression Plasmid/cDNA
    A DNA sequence encoding the human NTRK1 (NP_002520.2) extracellular domain (Met 1-Pro 382) was fused with the C-terminal polyhistidine-tagged Fc region of human IgG1 at the C-terminus.
  • Protein Species
    Human
  • Molecular weight
    The recombinant human NTRK1/Fc is a disulfide-linked homodimer. The reduced monomer consists of 598 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 66 kDa. In SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, the apparent molecular mass of rh NTRK1/Fc monomer is approximately 85-95 kDa due to glycosylation.
  • Purity
    > 98 % as determined by SDS-PAGE
  • Activity
    Measured by its ability to inhibit NGF-induced proliferation of TF-1 human erythroleukemic cells. The ED50 for this effect is typically 0.04-0.15 μg/ml in the presence of 10 ng/ml of recombinant human NGF.
