| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Neurturin (NTN) signals through a multicomponent receptor system, composed of RET and one of four GFRα (α1-α4) receptors. Neurturin promotes the development and survival of sympathetic and sensory neurons by signaling through a receptor system composed of RET and GFRα2. NTN modulates spermatogenesis, kidney morphogenesis and controls smooth muscle of penile blood vessels and several intrapelvic organs. |
| General description: | Neurturin (NTN) is a disulfide-linked homodimer neurotrophic factor structurally related to glial cell derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), artemin, and persephin. These proteins belong to the cysteine-knot family of growth factors that assume stable dimeric structures. The functional form of human Neurturin is a disulfide-linked homodimer, of two 11.8kDa polypeptide monomers (206 total amino acid residues). Each monomer contains seven conserved cysteine residues, one of which (Cys 69) is used for inter-chain disulfide bridging and the others are involved in intramolecular ring formation known as the cysteine knot configuration. |
| Physical form: | Lyophilized from 10 mM Sodium Citrate, pH 4.0. |
| Reconstitution: | Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. Do not vortex. This solution can be stored at 2-8°C for up to 1 week. For extended storage, it is recommended to further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein (example 0.1% BSA) and store in working aliquots at -20°C to -80°C. |
