NTRK2 (neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinase 2) receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK), is a single-pass type I transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the insulin receptor (InsR) subfamily of the tyrosine protein kinase family. NTRK2 comprises a 390-aa extracellular domain (ECD), a transmembrane region (TM), and a 368-aa intracellular kinase domain. The ECD contains 2 LRR (leucine-rich repeat) domains, 1 LRRCT and 2 Ig-like C2-type domains.  NTRK2 acts as a receptor for BDNF/brain-derived neurotrophic factor and NTF4/neurotrophin-4.  Upon neurotrophin binding, NTRK2 phosphorylates itself and members of the MAPK pathway. NTRK2 is involved in the development and the maturation of the central and the peripheral nervous systems through regulation of neuron survival, proliferation, migration, differentiation, and synapse formation and plasticity. NTRK2 plays a role in learning and memory by regulating both short term synaptic function and long-term potentiation and in in neutrophin-dependent calcium signaling in glial cells and mediate communication between neurons and glia. Mutations in the NTRK2  gene have been associated with obesity and mood disorders (OBHD).

Product Details

 

Gene Symbol: NTRK2; OBHD; TRKB; trk-B; GP145-TrkB

 

NCBI Gene ID: 4915

 

Uniprot Entry: Q16620

 

Construct Details: Full length human NTRK2 gene is subcloned into the Lentiviral expression vector pLTC with an upstream CMV promoter and with or without an antibiotic selection marker, which can be used for both transient and stable expression in mammalian cells.  It can be co-transfected with the LentiPAK DNA mix (SKU# LP-001) into HEK293 cells to produce high titer lentiviral particles. Multiple choices of a stable antibiotic selection marker are available.

 

Vector Type: pLTC or pLTC-IRES-Marker (lentiviral expression vector containing a heterologous CMV promoter +/- a selection marker, see the vector map above)

 

Formulation: Supplied with 10 μg of endotoxin-free plasmid DNA at 200 ng/μl in sterile TE buffer (pH8.0)

 

Gene Insert Size: 2469 (bp)

Primers: Gene insert coding sequence can be confirmed by following primers:

(a) forward (or 5'-end) primer: 5’-CAAATGGGCGGTAGGCGTG-3’;

(b) reverse (or 3'-end) primer: 5’-CCAGGTTTCCGGGCCCTCAC-3’
