Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ NTF3 is a member of the neurotrophin family that controls survival and differentiation of mammalian neurons. This protein is closely related to both nerve growth factor and brain-derived neurotrophic factor. It may be involved in the maintenance of the adult nervous system, and may affect development of neurons in the embryo when it is expressed in human placenta. NTF3-deficient mice generated by gene targeting display severe movement defects of the limbs. The mature peptide of this protein is identical in all mammals examined including human, pig, rat and mouse._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ NTF3 (NP_002518, 127-162)_x000D_ This antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide selected from the center region of human NTF3._x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide.
