Storage: Generally, lyophilized proteins are stable for up to 12 months when stored at -20 to -80°C. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-8°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.
Target Synonym: Beta-nerve growth factor;Beta-NGF;NGF
Protein Tag: N-His
Background: NGF is the first member discovered in the Neurotrophin family, which includes brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF), neurotrophin-3(NT-3), and neurotrophin-4(NT-4). These proteins belong to the cysteine-knot family of growth factors that assume stable dimeric structures. Mouse beta-NGF is a homodimer of two 120 amino acid polypeptides. It shares approximately 90% homology at the amino acid level with human beta-NGF and 95.8% with rat beta-NGF. NGF signaling has been shown to play an important role in neuroprotection and repair. β-NGF acts as a growth and differentiation factor for B lymphocytes, and enhances B-cell survival. It is a potent neurotrophic factor that signals through its receptor β-NGFR, and plays a crucial role in the development and preservation of the sensory and sympathetic nervous systems.
