Overview:
TRKA is a member of the TRK proto-oncogene family and encodes a 140-kilodalton, membrane-spanning protein tyrosine kinase that is the functional receptor for nerve growth factor (NGF). NGF elicits the rapid phosphorylation of gp140trk on tyrosine residues leading to increased c-Fos expression, DNA synthesis and morphologic transformation (1). A decreased expression of TRKA on the striatal cholinergic neurons has been observed which may contribute, when it reaches a crucial threshold, to the death of cholinergic neurons observed in Alzheimer disease (2).

Specificity:
Recognizes the TRKA protein phosphorylated at serine 791
Cross Reactivity:
Human
Host / Isotype / Clone#:
Rabbit, IgG
Immunogen:
The antibody was produced against synthesized phosphopeptide derived from human TrkA around the phosphorylation site of tyrosine791 (P-V-YP-L-D).
Purification:
Affinity chromatography
Stability:
Store at 4oC (add 0.1% NaN3) for several months, and at -20oC for longer periods. For optimal storage, aliquot target into smaller quantities after centrifugation and store at recommended temperature. For most favorable performance, avoid repeated handling and multiple freeze/thaw cycles.
Sample Data:
Immunofluorescence staining of methanol-fixed HeLa cells using Anti-phospho-TRKA (Ser791).
