Synonyms
TrkA, Tyrosine Kinase Receptor A, NTRK1, Tropomyosin receptor kinase A;
The cell line has been screened using the MycoAlert™ Mycoplasma Detection kit (Lonza, #LT07-218) to confirm the absence of Mycoplasma species.
Background
A chronic pain mediator, NGF (Nerve Growth Factor) binds to TrkA resulting in activation of the downstream signaling pathway linked to pro-nociception; therefore, targeting the kinase activity of TrkA and the interaction between NGF/TrkA have been attractive tools in pain management research. In addition to control of chronic pain, a recent clinical success has proven that inhibition of TrkA kinase would be a promising anti-cancer strategy.
Storage/Stability
Immediately upon receipt, store in liquid nitrogen.
Culture Conditions
For best results, it is highly recommended to use these validated and optimized media from BPS Bioscience. Other preparations or formulations of media may result in suboptimal performance.
Growth Medium 1A (BPS Bioscience, #79528): MEM medium supplemented with 10% FBS, 1% non-essential amino acids, 1 mM Na pyruvate, 1% Penicillin/Streptomycin plus 400 μg/ml of Geneticin and 100 μg/ml of Hygromycin B
Cells should be grown at 37°C with 5% CO2 using Growth Medium 1A.
