TrkA,the high affinity Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) receptor,autophosphorylates on tyrosine to activate multiple effectors. Phosphorylation at Tyr490 is required for Shc association and activation of the Ras-MAP kinase cascade. Residues Tyr674/675 lie within the catalytic domain,and phosphorylation at these sites reflects Trk kinase activity.
应用类型
Western blotting (1 ug/ml), immunoprecipitation (4-8 ug/ml), and immunocytochemistry (10-20 ug/ml). However, the optimal conditions should be determined individually. The antibody detects 140 kDa TrkA only when phosphorylated at Tyr490.
免疫原
Synthetic phospho-peptide corresponding to resides surrounding Tyr490 of human TrkA
