Purified recombinant Human NNT1 protein Expression System: E.coli Bioactivity: NT-1/BCSF-3 weakly supports chick E8 DRG neurite outgrowth at a concentration of 1.0 ng/mL.
NNT-1/BCSF-3 is a neurotrophic factor with B-cell stimulating capabilities. Expressed in lymph nodes and spleen, NNT-1/BCSF-3 binds and activates glycoprotein 130 (gp130) and leukemia inhibitory factor receptor member beta (LIFR-beta) and induces tyrosine phosphorylation of these receptors. In vitro, it supports the survival of chick embryo motor and sympathetic neurons. In mice, NNT-1/BCSF-3 induces serum amyloid A, causes body weight loss and B cell hyperplasia associated with increased in serum IgG and IgM. Alternative Names: NNT-1 protein, NNT-1 protein, Novel Neurtrophin-1/B-Cell Stimulating Factor-3 protein, Cardiotrophin-like cytokine protein, NNT 1, NNT 1 protein, NNT1, NNT-1
