Background
Tropomyosin receptor kinase B (TRKB) is a high-affinity catalytic receptor for neurotrophins and is part of a large family of tyrosine kinases. Once activated by specific neurotrophins, such as brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), TRKB mediates neuronal differentiation and survival. TRKB and BDNF have been associated with the pathology and progression of Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders. More recently as a member of TRK proto-oncogene family, TRKB inhibitors have become of interest as a possible cancer therapy.
Storage/Stability
This assay kit will perform optimally for up to 6 months from date of receipt when the materials are stored as directed.
Applications
Study enzyme kinetics and screen small molecular inhibitors for drug discovery and high throughput (HTS) applications.
The final concentration of DMSO in the assay should not exceed 1%.
Warnings
Avoid freeze/thaw cycles.
Disclaimers and Limitations
BPS Bioscience assay kits are validated using the listed components according to our specific protocol. Any deviations to kit components or protocols, such as using different proteins, cell/tissue lysates, or buffers (including using the same component from other commercial sources) will void any warranties on the performance of the assay kit and is not recommended.
End-users should immediately report any issues to [email protected] upon receipt of the kit, such as missing components, damaged vials, no dry ice, etc.
