NTF5 (NT-4/5, NT4, NT5, NTF5, neurotrophic factor 4, neurotrophic factor 5, neurotrophin 5,neurotrophin 5 (neurotrophin 4/5))

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. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Optimal...
