Nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR) is also referred to as p75(NTR) due to its molecular mass and its ability to bind at low affinity not only NGF (see 162030), but also other neurotrophins, including brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF; 113505), neurotrophin-3 (NTF3; 162660), and neurotrophin-4/5 (NTF5; 162662). At the time of its discovery, NGFR was considered a unique type of protein. Subsequently, however, a large superfamily of tumor necrosis factor receptors were found to share the overall structure of NGFR (4 extracellular ligand-binding, cysteine-rich repeats, or CRs, and signaling through association with, or disassociation from, cytoplasmic interactors). The identification of this superfamily helped elucidate some of the biologic functions of NGFR, including its ultimate involvement in the nuclear factor kappa-B (NFKB; see 164011) and apoptosis pathways. As a monomer, NGFR binds NGF with low affinity. Higher affinity binding is achieved by association with higher molecular mass, low-affinity neurotrophin receptors, namely the tropomyosin receptor kinases, TRKA (NTRK1; 191315), TRKB (NTRK2; 600456), and TRKC (NTRK3; 191316). TRKA, TRKB, and TRKC are specific for or 'preferred by' NGF, NTF5 and BDNF, and NTF3, respectively (Ip et al., 1993). NTF3 also binds to TRKA and TRKB, but with significantly lower affinity

Monoclonal antibody MC192 against the rat low affinity nerve growth factor receptor (p75NTR) is derived from the fusion of Sp2/0-Ag 14 myeloma cells with mouse immune splenocytes. MC192 monoclonal antibody was originally generated by Chandlers et al. p75NTR was originally discovered as a low affinity nerve growth factor receptor. Later it was found that it was the receptor for all neurotrophins. It mediates signals of neurotrophins for neuronal survival, apoptosis, neurite outgrowth and synaptic plasticity. Recently, it has been revealed that p75NTR not only acts as the receptor for neurotrophins but also the receptor for many other pathological ligands such as prions, rabies virus and amyloid beta. p75NTR also acts as a co-receptor for NOGO which mediates inhibitory signals of myelin associated protein. p75NTR is highly expressed in a number of non-neuronal and neuronal cells including motor neurons during development and also in damaged neurons. MC192 has a potential use as the ligand for gene delivery into p75NTR-expressing rat cells via a receptor-mediated mechanism. FUNCTION: Low affinity receptor which can bind to NGF, BDNF, NT-3, and NT-4. Can mediate cell survival as well as cell death of neural cells. SUBUNIT: Homodimer; disulfide-linked. Interacts with p75NTR-associated cell death executor. Interacts with NGFRAP1/BEX3. Interacts with TRAF2, TRAF4, TRAF6, PTPN13 and RANBP9. Interacts through TRAF6 with SQSTM1 which bridges NGFR to NTRK1 (By similarity).

Application Details:
Immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, flow cytometry, NGF receptor p75 dynamics, retrograde transport studies, study of intracellular trafficking. Suggested working dilutions: For immunohistochemistry a concentration of 1-2 µg/mL is recommended. The antibody is not appropriate for Western Blots. The recommended concentration for FACS is 20 µg/mL and at least 1 in 5000 dilution is recommended for 1-site ELISA. Optimal working dilution should be determined by the end user. MC192 is not suitable as a blocking agent, although it has been incorrectly used for this purpose in many published works. The antibody was generated specifically by screening for monoclonals that had the ability to ENHANCE the binding of NGF, the natural ligand for p75. Therefore, this antibody is particularly unusual. The full details can be found in the original paper, which is listed on our datasheet (see Chandler et al, 1984). Biosensis recommends optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. The FITC version of MC192 is primarily targeted for FACS or IF applications on live or lightly fixed cells. Antibody will not work in traditional formalin fixed tissues.

Background Info:
The nerve growth factor (NGF) receptor (NGFR), also known as p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR; TNFRS16; CD271) is a common receptor for the neurotrophins NGF, BDNF, NT-3 and NT-4/5. In neurons, p75NTR mediates a variety of physiological functions including survival, apoptosis, neurite outgrowth and synaptic plasticity. A potential pathological role for p75NTR has become evident in recent years. Altered p75NTR expression levels are implicated in degeneration of spinal motor neurons in human and mouse models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Importantly, the extracellular domain of p75NTR (p75ECD) is shed from the cell membrane and excreted in urine. Recent findings further suggest that p75ECD could be an early biomarker for ALS in humans, as significantly elevated p75ECD levels are found in urine of ALS patients as compared to healthy controls.

Nerve growth factor (NGF) receptor, also known as p75NTR, is a low affinity NGF receptor. It binds with equal affinity all members of the neurotrophin family including beta NGF, BDNF, NT-3 and NT-4/5. It also binds the pro-neurotrophins. NGF receptors mediate signaling of neurotrophins for neuronal survival, apoptosis, neurite outgrowth and synaptic plasticity. These receptors are also thought to play a role in neurogenerative diseases such as Alzheimers disease. The p75NTR NGF receptor is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein (396 aa) consisting of a signal peptide (21 aa), an extracellular domain (225 aa) which contains four cysteine rich domains responsible for ligand binding, a transmembrane domain (19 aa) and a cytoplasmic domain (152 aa). It is a member of the TNF-alpha receptor family (TNR16). Recently, p75NTR has been shown to act as a receptor for many pathogens such as prions, rabies virus and amyloid beta. It also acts as a co-receptor for NOGO, mediating inhibitory signals of myelin associated protein.
Lyophilized products should be stored at 2-8°C. Following reconstitution, short-term storage at 2-8°C is recommended and longer-term storage of aliquots at -18 to -20°C. Repeated freeze thawing is not recommended.

p75NTR (CD271) was originally discovered as a low affinity nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR). Later it was found that it was the receptor for all neurotrophins, including NGF, BDNF, NT3 and NT4/5. It mediates signals of neurotrophins for neuronal survival, apoptosis, neurite outgrowth and synaptic plasticity. Recently, it has been revealed that p75NTR not only acts as the receptor for neurotrophins but also the receptor for many other pathological ligands such as prions, rabies virus and amyloid beta. p75NTR also acts as a co-receptor for NOGO which mediates inhibitory signals of myelin associated protein. p75NTR is highly expressed in a number of non-neuronal and neuronal cells including motor neurons during development and also in damaged neurons. Recent research proposes the extracellular domain of p75NTR as a biomarker for monitoring the progression of motor neuron disease (MND), also known as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig's Disease.

The Biosensis NGFR/p75 ECD Rapid TM enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Kit is a sandwich ELISA that allows the quantification of mouse p75 ECD in less than 4 hours in cell culture supernatants and urine only if used as directed. Please refer to the kit protocol for specific use instructions for each substrate application. This ELISA kit consists of a pre-coated mouse monoclonal anti-p75 ECD capture antibody, a goat anti- p75 ECD detection antibody and a horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated anti-goat antibody. The addition of a substrate (3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, TMB) yields a colored reaction product which is directly proportional to the concentration of p75ECD present in samples and protein standards. This NGFR/p75 ECD ELISA kit employs a recombinant mouse p75 ECD -Fc chimera protein as standard. While there is a current lack of a true mouse p75 ECD standard, this ELISA kit allows quantification of mouse p75 ECD as p75 ECD -Fc mouse equivalents. Please note that the antibodies used in this ELISA cross-react with human NGFR/p75 ECD . This kit has not been tested for other applications. It has been configured for research use only and is not to be used in diagnostic or clinical procedures.
Background Info:
The nerve growth factor (NGF) receptor (NGFR), also known as p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR; TNFRS16; CD271) is a common receptor for the neurotrophins NGF, BDNF, NT-3 and NT-4/5. In neurons, p75NTR mediates a variety of physiological functions including survival, apoptosis, neurite outgrowth and synaptic plasticity. A potential pathological role for p75NTR has become evident in recent years. Altered p75NTR expression levels are implicated in degeneration of spinal motor neurons in human and mouse models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Importantly, the extracellular domain of p75NTR (p75ECD) is shed from the cell membrane and excreted in urine. Recent findings further suggest that p75ECD could be an early biomarker for ALS in humans, as significantly elevated p75ECD levels are found in urine of ALS patients as compared to healthy controls.
