NRG1 (Acetylcholine receptor-inducing activity)

NRG1 (Neuregulin 1), also known as ARIA, NDF or HRGA, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NRG1 gene. NRG1 is one of four proteins in the neuregulin family that act on the EGFR family of receptors. By in situ hybridization of a tritium-labeled probe to human metaphase spreads, Orr-Urtreger et al. (1993) localized the NDF gene to 8p21-p12. In mouse embryos 14.5 days postcoitum, Orr-Urtreger et al. (1993) found that NDF expression is confined predominantly to the central and peripheral nervous systems, including the neuroepithelium that lines the lateral ventricles of the brain, the ventral horn of the spinal cord, and the intestinal as well as dorsal root ganglia.\n\nUniProt Number:\nQ02297\n\nGene ID:\nNRG1\n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in Western Blot, Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin and Frozen), and Immunocytochemistry.\n\nRecommended Dilution:\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nStorage and Handling:\nStore at -20?C for one year. After reconstitution, store at 4?C for one month. Can also be aliquoted and stored frozen at -20?C for long term.\nAvoid repeated freezing and thawing. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
