Function

Low affinity receptor which can bind to NGF, BDNF, NTF3, and NTF4. Forms a heterodimeric receptor with SORCS2 that binds the precursor forms of NGF, BDNF and NTF3 with high affinity, and has much lower affinity for mature NGF and BDNF (PubMed:24908487). Plays an important role in differentiation and survival of specific neuronal populations during development (By similarity). Can mediate cell survival as well as cell death of neural cells. Plays a role in the inactivation of RHOA (PubMed:26646181). Plays a role in the regulation of the translocation of GLUT4 to the cell surface in adipocytes and skeletal muscle cells in response to insulin, probably by regulating RAB31 activity, and thereby contributes to the regulation of insulin-dependent glucose uptake (By similarity). Necessary for the circadian oscillation of the clock genes BMAL1, PER1, PER2 and NR1D1 in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCmgetaN) of the brain and in liver and of the genes involved in glucose and lipid metabolism in the liver (PubMed:23785138).

    Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-p75 NGF Receptor antibody [EP1039Y] (ab52987)

    Immunohistochemical analysis of formalin fixed paraffin embedded human tonsil labelling p75 NGF Receptor with ab52987 at a concentration of 0.1µg/ml. The immunostaining was performed on a Ventana DISCOVERY ULTRA (Roche Tissue Diagnostics) instrument with a OptiView DAB IHC Detection Kit. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed with DISCOVERY cell conditioning solution (CC1) 100°C, pH8.5 for 32mins.

    Anti-p75 NGF Receptor antibody [EP1039Y] ab52987 was incubated for 16mins at 37°C. Sections were counterstained with Hematoxylin II. Image inset shows absence of staining in secondary antibody only control.

    Customers are encouraged to optimise antigen retrieval conditions, antibody concentration, incubation times and temperature for best results in their own IHC assay workflow (automated and manual).

    Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-p75 NGF Receptor antibody [EP1039Y] (ab52987)

    The differentiation capacity of purified CD34+ cells cultured for 3 days in the presence or absence of ALK5i was evaluated by performing immunofluorescence analysis assessing whether CD34+ cells had changed to cells expressing p75 and/or α-SMA. Expressions of CD34, p75 and α-SMA were assessed by immunofluorescence on day 0 (F-H), day 3 in SP+f medium (I-K), or day 3 in the same medium as (I-K) but with ALK5i (L-N).

    Cultured re-aggregates were fixed in 4% PFA and embedded in paraffin. Sections (5 ∝m) were boiled in 0.01 M citrate (pH 6.0) with 0.1% Tween 20 for 10 min, washed three times in 0.1% Tween-20/PBS, transferred to blocking solution containing 5% BSA and 5% horse serum (Sigma) or goat serum (Invitrogen) in 0.1% Triton X-100/PBS for 1 hr, and incubated with primary antibody (p75 at 1/100 dilution) at 4°C overnight. After washing, the secondary antibody was added, and the sections were incubated for 2 hrs at room temperature. Microscopic images were obtained using a CCD camera (DP72, Olympus, Tokyo) mounted on a fluorescence microscope (BX60, or BX61VS-ASW, Olympus). Cultured cells on coverglasses were fixed in 4% PFA. Antigen retrieval was done by incubation with 100% methanol (-20°C) 10 min, and 0.3% Triton X-100 for 10 min.

    We have systematically measured KD (the equilibrium dissociation constant between the antibody and its antigen), of more than 840 recombinant antibodies to assess not only their individual KD values but also to see the average affinity of antibody.
    Based on the comparison with published literature values for mouse monoclonal antibodies, Recombinant antibodies appear to be on average 1-2 order of magnitude higher affinity.
