Relevance: The p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) is a major player in the regulation of neuronal cell death and survival. This receptor binds all four neurotrophins with approximately equal affinity in the nanomolar range, as well as the pro-neurotrophins. The binding of mature neurotrophins to p75NTR causes a variety of physiological responses, including neuronal survival and differentiation. In contrast, the interaction of p75NTR with pro-neurotrophins induces apoptosis in sympathetic neurons. We have two polyclonals available; one targets the intracellular portion of rat p75 and the other that targets the extracellular portion.
