  WB analysis of normal rat tissue (right) and in human cancer cell lines (left): p75NTR is visualized with Anti-Human p75NTR (extracellular) antibody, (1:200). Interestingly, p75NTR from rat (right blot and the C6 cell line) and human (left blot) samples run with a different apparent MW, probably due to species-specific differential glycosylation.

  Expression of p75NTR in rat brain. Immunohistochemical staining of rat brain with Anti-Human p75NTR (extracellular) antibody. A. Cells in the diagonal band are stained positive for p75NTR. B. Staining of the same section with goat anti-ChAT confirms that p75NTR staining is specific to cholinergic neurons.

• Background: The p75NTR receptor is a member of the TNF receptor superfamily. p75NTR, like all the superfamily members is a type I transmembrane protein with tandem cysteine-rich domains in the extracellular portion and a intracellular death domain. p75NTR binds its ligands as a homodimer but can also form heterodimers with other receptors such as TrkA, TrkB, TrkC, Nogo receptor and sortilin. The precise multimeric receptor complex formed between p75NTR and the other receptors will determine the ligand being recognized (see below) and the biological response to its binding. As it name implies, p75NTR binds all the neurotrophins (NGF, BDNF, NT-3 and NT-4) with similar nM affinities. Co-expression of p75NTR with the Trk receptors enhances the ability to bind and respond to the specific neurotrophin and induces cell survival. On the other hand, it has recently been demonstrated that p75NTR binds with high affinity to the unprocessed form of NGF (proNGF) probably as a complex with sortilin and this leads to cell death by apoptosis. Finally, a multimeric complex of p75NTR and Nogo receptor binds myelin proteins such as Nogo-66, MAG and OmgP resulting in inhibition of axonal growth.
