Product Description: Neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) is an important member of the Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) family of proteins. NT-3 promotes the growth, survival, and differentiation of neurons and synapses in the peripheral and central nervous systems. The receptor tyrosine kinase TrkC exclusively binds in high-affinity to NT-3. NT-3 also signals through the receptor tyrosine kinase TrkB, and through the low affinity nerve growth factor receptor (LNGFR).This product is produced with no animal derived raw products. All processing and handling employs animal free equipment and animal free protocols.
