Description

Introduction
GDNF promotes the survival and differentiation of dopaminergic neurons in culture, and is able to prevent apoptosis of motor neurons induced by axotomy. The encoded protein is processed to a mature secreted form that exists as a homodimer. The mature form of the protein is a ligand for the product of the RET (rearranged during transfection) protooncogene. In addition to the transcript encoding GDNF, two additional alternative transcripts encoding distinct proteins, referred to as astrocyte-derived trophic factors, have also been described. Mutations in this gene may be associated with Hirschsprung disease.
GDNF enhances survival and morphological differentiation of dopaminergic neurons and increases their high-affinity dopamine uptake.

BP001001-CYT-305: Recombinant Human Glial Cell Line-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (GDNF) Protein

Source: E. coli-derived.
N-terminal sequence analysis: Met-Ser-Pro-Asp-Lys.
A homodimer, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 2 x 135 amino acids and having a total molecular mass of 30,360 Dalton.
The ED50, calculated by the dose-dependant dopamin uptake in rat mesencephalic cultures was found to be 5-10 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of 100,000-200,000 Units/mg
Purity: > 98% by SDS-PAGE and RP-HPLC.
Formulation: GDNF was lyophilized after dialysis against 10 mM sodium citrate and 150 mM NaCl.
Reconstitution: It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Glial Derived Neurotrophic Factor in sterile 18 M?-cm H2O not less than 100 ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Shipping: The product is shipped at ambient temperature. Upon receipt, store it immediately at the temperature recommended below.
