Product details
Abcam's rat TrkA in vitro ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is designed for the accurate quantitative measurement of rat TrkA in cell culture supernatants, cell lysates and tissue homogenates.
A TrkA specific rat polyclonal antibody from goat has been precoated onto 96-well plates. Standards and test samples are added to the wells and incubated. A biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat specific for TrkA is then added followed by washing with PBS or TBS buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex is added and unbound conjugates are washed away with PBS or TBS buffer. TMB is then used to visualize the HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB is catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changes into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow coloration is directly proportional to the rat TrkA amount of sample captured in plate.

Biological function summary
TrkA plays an important role in the regulation of neurotrophic signaling. TrkA existing often as part of larger signaling complexes modulates neuronal differentiation development and apoptosis. It ensures proper neural connections during development by responding to NGF which is important for neurons' health and plasticity. TrkA also aids in the response to injury by promoting neuronal repair and regeneration.
Pathways
TrkA engagement activates prominent pathways like the MAPK/ERK and PI3K/AKT signaling cascades. These pathways facilitate important cellular processes like proliferation survival and metabolism. Through these pathways TrkA interacts and cooperates with proteins like SHC GRB2 and PLCγ among others to execute cellular functions. These signaling pathways enable the coordinated response needed for neural tissue maintenance and development.
