Detection of Human NT‑4 Propeptide by Western Blot. Western blot shows lysates of PC-3 human prostate cancer cell line, LNCaP human prostate cancer cell line, and DU145 human prostate carcinoma cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Human NT-4 Propeptide Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF3450) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF019). A specific band was detected for NT-4 Propeptide at approximately 36 kDa (corresponent to proform). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 8.

Background: NT-4

NT-4 Propeptide (neurotrophin-4/5) is a 27 kDa, secreted, glycosylated neuronal polypeptide that belongs to the NGF-beta family of neurotrophic factors. It is synthesized as a proform that contains a 9 kDa, 56 amino acid (aa) proregion (aa 25-80) and a 130 aa mature segment. The mature molecule forms both nondisulfide linked heterodimers (with NGF) and homodimers. It is unclear if 186 aa NT-4 Propeptide dimerizes, but this might be anticipated. Proneurotrophins are believed to activate NGFR and sortilin complexes and neurotrophin proregions regulate neurotrophin maturation. Over aa 25-80, human NT-4 Propeptide is 89% and 91% aa identical to mouse and canine NT-4 Propeptide, respectively.
