NGFR Protein, Human (HEK293, Fc)

Nerve Growth Factor Receptor (NGFR) also known as CD271, p75NTR, TNFRSF16, is a transmembrane low-affinity receptor for the neurotrophin family. NGFR has no intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity. NGFR can act as a tumour suppressor, negatively regulating cell growth and proliferation^[1]. NGF-NGFR cascade activates NF-κB, leading to inhibition of apoptosis, increases survival of schwannoma, and breast cancer cells^[3]. NGFR Protein, Human (HEK293, Fc) is a recombinant protein with a C-Terminal Fc label, It consists of 250 amino acids (M1-N250) and is produced in HEK293 cells.

神经生长因子受体（NGFR）不仅在神经组织中表达，也在非神经元正常细胞和癌细胞中表达，如血管周围细胞、牙髓细胞、淋巴滤泡树突状细胞、口腔粘膜和毛囊的基底上皮、前列腺基底细胞和肌上皮细胞^[1]。
人 NGFR 与小鼠 NGFR 蛋白具有 92.45% aa 序列同一性，与大鼠 NGFR 蛋白具有 92.42% aa 序列同一性。
神经生长因子受体（NGFR）是一种I型跨膜蛋白，是TNFR超家族的典型结构，缺乏内在的催化活性。NGFR 信号传导涉及 NF-kB（Rel/NF-kB 转录因子）的激活和转录因子 c-Jun 激酶 (JNK) 的磷酸化，以及神经酰胺产量的增加，导致基因转录或程序性细胞死亡^[2]。
NGFR 诱导 p53 依赖性细胞凋亡和细胞生长停滞以及抑制肿瘤生长^[3]。低亲和力神经生长因子受体 (NGFR) p75NGFR 在没有神经生长因子 (NGF) 结合的情况下诱导细胞凋亡，但在与 NGF 结合时增强神经存活。NGFR 增强 β-淀粉样肽毒性^[4]。NGFR 信号可诱导随后黑色素瘤抗原的下调，并最终抑制 CTL 激活^[5]。

NGFR (human) knockdown induces apoptosis and inhibits p53 activation in H46 cells^[3].
NGFR (human) high expression is correlated with greater regional nodal metastasis rates and poor prognosis in human oral squamous cell carcinoma^[6].
