Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizes neurotrophin-3 (gene NTF3) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot. The predicted molecular weight is 29.4 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 34 kDa.
Neurotrophin-3 (NT-3, NTF3) is a secreted growth factor of the neurotrophin family that acts mainly through the TrkC receptor. It supports the survival and development of sensory neurons, including proprioceptive and visceral populations, and is studied in nervous system development, nerve injury and synaptic plasticity.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.25–0.5 µg/mL (Human, Mouse, Rat) |
|---|
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): rat brain tissue, mouse brain tissue, human U87 cells, mouse Neuro-2a cells.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 50 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:5000, ECL detection.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide from the C-terminal region of human neurotrophin 3/NTF3. Sequence identity with the mouse and rat orthologs: 89.3% and 95.3%, respectively.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt describes neurotrophin-3 as a secreted protein. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Brain and peripheral tissues. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
