BDNF Human
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a member of the neurotrophin family. Along with other structurally related neurotrophic factors NGF, NT-3 and NT-4, BDNF binds with high affinity to the TrkB kinase receptor. It also binds with the LNGFR (for low-affinity nerve growth factor receptor, also known as p75). BDNF promotes the survival, growth and differentiation of neurons.It serves as a major regulator of synaptic transmission and plasticity at adult synapses in many regions of the cns.BDNF expression is altered in neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease.
Full Name | Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Human Recombinant |
Synonyms | Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor, BDNF, MGC34632. |
Source | Escherichia Coli. |
Amino Acid Sequence | The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Met-His-Ser-Asp-Pro . |
Molecular Weight | Recombinant Human Brain-derived neurotrophic factor produced in E. coli is a non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 119 amino acids.Bioactive BDNF is a non-covalently linked homodimer and having a molecular mass of 27kDa. |
Purity | >95% as determined by SDS-PAGE and HPLC |
Endotoxin | Endotoxin level was found to be ≤ 0.1 ng/µg(1EU/µg) by LAL gel clot method. |
Formulation | recombinant BDNF is lyophilized from a 0.2µm filtered solution of 20mM PB,250mM NaCl, pH 7.2. |
Reconstitution | To reconstitute the protein, add sterile water to the lyophilized protein and make a preparation with a concentration ≥0.1mg/ml. The preparation can be diluted into other appropriate buffers if necessary. Be cautious and avoid potential contamination with bacteria and endotoxin |
Stability | The lyophilized form of the protein is stable at room temperature for 3 weeks and at -20°C for at least 2 years from the date of receipt. Upon reconstitution, the protein should be stored at 4°C for no more than 7 days. The protein is stable at -20°C for six months. For long term storage, please store at -80°C and the addition of a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is recommended. Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Biological Activity | The ED50 of rHuBDNF as determined by cell proliferation assay using the TrkB transfected BaF3 mouse pro-B cell line was 1-6ng/mL. |
Usage | LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. Not intended for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. |
