General description

Nerve growth factor (NGF) belongs to the family of neurotrophic factors. It is located at 1p13.2 on the human chromosome. There are two molecular forms of NGF, 7S NGF and 2.5S NGF, that have identical neurotrophic effect on neurons.

Specificity

May be used in monitoring for NGF (2.5S, β and 7S).

Immunogen

NGF-2.5S from male mouse submaxillary glands.

Application

Anti-Nerve Growth Factor 2.5S antibody may be used for immunoblotting and dot blot at a minimum antibody working dilution of 1:2000. Antibody dilution of 1:1000 was used for immunoblotting using extracts of nucleus raphe magus tissue of rats. The antibody was used for immunofluorescence of mouse astrocytes and for neutralization assays.
Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below.
Immunofluorescence (1 paper)
Western Blotting (1 paper)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Mutations in this gene leads to hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathies class five (HSAN-V).

Physical form

Solution in phosphate buffered saline.

Previous studies demonstrated exercise-induced modulation of neurotrophins, such as Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) and Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF). Yet, no study that we are aware of has examined their change as a function of different training paradigms. In addition, the
