Human proNGF Rapid ELISA ELISA

Nerve growth factor (NGF) is synthesized as a precursor (proNGF) which may be released and have physiological functions to cause cell death. It binds neurotrophin receptor p75 and sortilin and may also be important for the development of nervous system. proNGF is synthesized in target tissues and glia, transported retrogradely and may be released.

The Biosensis proNGF Rapid enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Kit is a sandwich ELISA that allows the quantification of full-length proNGF protein in less than 4 hours in human serum, heparin-plasma, cell supernatants and cell lysates only if used as directed. Please refer to the kit protocol for specific use instructions for each substrate application. Accurate proNGF quantification in human serum requires the addition of Heterophilic Antibody Blocker BL-003-1000 provided in the kit, and available for purchase separately.
