Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of NT4 in rat serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, cell culture supernates.
Target Information: This gene is a member of a family of neurotrophic factors, neurotrophins, that control survival and differentiation of mammalian neurons. The expression of this gene is ubiquitous and less influenced by environmental signals. While knock-outs of other neurotrophins including nerve growth factor, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, and neurotrophin 3 prove lethal during early postnatal development, NTF5-deficient mice only show minor cellular deficits and develop normally to adulthood.
