Neurotrophin 3 nt3

Manufactured by Merck Group

Neurotrophin 3 (NT3) is a protein that plays a critical role in the development and maintenance of the nervous system. It is a member of the neurotrophin family, which also includes nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and neurotrophin-4 (NT-4). NT3 is involved in the survival, differentiation, and function of various types of neurons, including sensory and motor neurons. It is commonly used in research applications focused on understanding and addressing neurological conditions.

SHED were seeded onto poly-L-ornithine (Sigma) and laminin (Sigma) coated 24-well plates. The cells were cultured for 14 days in spiral ganglion neurons induction medium consisting of DMEM/F12, 20 ng/ml neurotrophins brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), 20 ng/ml neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), 20 ng/ml glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) (all from Sigma), supplemented with 2% N-2 (Gibco), 2% B-27 supplement, 100 U/ml Penicillin, and 100 μm/ml Streptomycin. The medium was changed every other day. The differentiated cells were stained with β-tubulin III (Tuj1; BioLegend, San Diego, CA, USA) and Tropomyosin receptor kinase B (TrkB; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc, Dallas, TX, USA). Nuclei were counterstained with 20 μg/ml 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI; Sigma).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
