Overview
Anti-NRG1 Type III (extracellular) Antibody is an antibody targeting Neuregulin-1 isoform 10, CRD-NRG, Sensory and motor neuron derived factor, SMDF Polyclonal raised in Rabbit (Unconjugated). This antibody is commonly used in IHC, WB to detect, localize, or compare expression of the target across samples.
Key elements and design rationale
- Target: Neuregulin-1 isoform 10, CRD-NRG, Sensory and motor neuron derived factor, SMDF (also reported as Neuregulin-1 isoform 10, CRD-NRG, Sensory and motor neuron derived factor, SMDF).
- Immunogen/epitope region: Extracellular.
- Homology note: Rat, mouse - identical (informative for cross-species interpretation).
- Species reactivity (as provided): Human, Rat, Mouse.
- Specificity statement (as provided): This antibody will recognize Neuregulin-1 Type III. It will not recognize Neuregulin-1 Type I, Type II and Type IV..
- Lot quality control (as provided): Western blot analysis.
- Peptide confirmation: Confirmed by amino acid analysis and mass spectrometry.
- Blocking peptide: Available for antigen preadsorption control where appropriate.
These attributes help researchers interpret whether signal reflects the intended target in a given assay and sample context.
Biological background
Neuregulin-1 (NRG1) is a member of a subfamily of the epidermal growth factor family and plays an important role in the development of the peripheral nervous system. Through alternative RNA splicing and promoter usage, the NRG1 gene encodes an entire family of more than 15 transmembrane and secreted isoforms. Neuregulin-1 acts as an important regulator in the survival of Schwann cell precursors, Schwann cell proliferation, motility, axon ensheathment and myelination.Neuregulin-1 can be divided into different according to the N-terminal sequence.
Research relevance and current trends
- Mapping receptor/channel localization across neuronal subtypes and subcellular compartments.
- Linking trafficking or surface expression changes to activity-dependent signaling and plasticity.
- Using KO/KD or blocking-peptide concepts to strengthen antibody-based target assignment.
Common research applications
- Western blot (WB): compare target abundance/size across lysates and conditions; consider isoforms/PTMs.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): examine spatial distribution in tissue and relate signal to cell-type composition.
Interpretation typically benefits from comparing matched sample sets (e.g., treated vs control, WT vs KO/KD) and using orthogonal readouts where feasible.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Isoforms and post-translational modifications can shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility across samples.
- Cross-species signal may depend on epitope conservation; consult the provided homology note when selecting models.
- Permeabilization, fixation, and antigen retrieval can change accessibility of intracellular vs extracellular epitopes.
- Conceptual control: antigen preadsorption (blocking peptide) can help assess signal dependence on the immunogen region.
- Provided control suggestions: Negative control: BLP-NR113.
- Application notes: see product-specific dilution/usage notes and control concepts provided in the dataset.
