Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of TrkB in mouse tissue homogenates, cell lysates.
Target Information: This gene encodes a member of the neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (NTRK) family. This kinase is a membrane-bound receptor that, upon neurotrophin binding, phosphorylates itself and members of the MAPK pathway. Signalling through this kinase leads to cell differentiation. Mutations in this gene have been associated with obesity and mood disorders. Alternate transcriptional splice variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
