Other Names | Neurturin Antibody: NTN, Neurturin, neurturin |
Target/Specificity | Neurturin antibody was raised against a 16 amino acid peptide near the carboxy terminus of human Neurturin. The immunogen is located within the last 50 amino acids of Neurturin. |
Reconstitution & Storage | Neurturin antibody can be stored at 4℃ for three months and -20℃, stable for up to one year. As with all antibodies care should be taken to avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures. |
Precautions | Neurturin Antibody is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | NRTN {ECO:0000303|PubMed:31535977, ECO:0000312|HGNC:HGNC:8007} |

Function | Growth factor that supports the survival of sympathetic neurons in culture (PubMed:8945474). May regulate the development and maintenance of the CNS (PubMed:8945474). Involved in the development of the neural crest (PubMed:15242795). Might control the size of non- neuronal cell population such as haemopoietic cells (PubMed:8945474). Acts by binding to its coreceptor, GFRA2, leading to autophosphorylation and activation of the RET receptor (PubMed:10829012, PubMed:29414779, PubMed:31535977). Heparan sulfate- binding is required for signaling (PubMed:29414779). |
Cellular Location | Secreted {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P97463}. |

Background
Neurturin Antibody: Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) plays key roles in the control of vertebrate neuron survival and differentiation. A novel neurotrophic factor was recently cloned from human and mouse and designated neurturin. Physiological responses to neurturin (NTN) require the presence of receptor tyrosine kinase RET and a novel glycosylphosphatidylinositol linked receptor NTNRalpha. The cDNAs encoding NTNRalpha from human, rat, chicken, and mouse have been cloned recently and termed GDNFRβ, Ret ligand 2 (RETL2) or TGF-beta-related neurotrophic factor receptor 2 (TrnR2) and nominated as GFRα-2 recently. NTN binds to and forms a complex with GFRα-2 and the Ret PTK and activates the RET receptor tyrosine kinase pathway. Both NTN and GDNF can activate the MAP kinase and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathways and play a critical role in the development of many neuronal populations. Neurturin and GDNF define a new family of neurotrophic factors.
