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.
